  • Threshold based incremental flashcopy backup of a raid protected array
    Patent number: 10346253
    Abstract: Changes in a multi-RAID configuration to metadata of a source production volume in a source RAID are monitored since taking a most recent FC backup on the source production volume. The incremental copies of the metadata are stored on a target production volume in a target RAID. The source RAID is used to serve as a storage for the source production volume and also serve as a FC backup of the target production volume residing on the target RAID for creating a dual purpose for the multi-RAID configuration.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 21, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 9, 2019
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION

  • Threshold based incremental flashcopy backup of a raid protected array
    Patent number: 9626115
    Abstract: Changes in a multi-RAID configuration to metadata of a source production volume in a source RAID are monitored since taking a most recent FC backup on the source production volume. The incremental copies of the metadata are stored on a target production volume in an target RAID. An incremental FC backup of the metadata are periodically created or created if the monitored changes exceed a change rate threshold.
