Abstract: A data management system may support techniques for immutable storage of snapshot data entities, which may each include data corresponding to one or more snapshots, in a cloud environment. The data management system may determine respective retention periods and respective immutability periods for the snapshot data entities. The data management system may extend the respective immutability period for a first snapshot data entity based on the respective retention period for the first snapshot data entity being greater than or equal to a threshold duration. Additionally or alternatively, the data management system may maintain (refrain from extending) the respective immutability period for a second snapshot data entity based at least in part on the respective retention period for the second snapshot data entity being less than the threshold duration.

Abstract: A data management system (DMS) may support the backing up of scalable computing objects, such as hierarchical computing objects. For example, the DMS may backup a computing system and facilitate that capture and storage of snapshots of the computing system. The DMS may determine to capture a first snapshot of a computing object within the computing system. The DMS may identify components corresponding to respective portions of the computing object and cause the computing system to generate respective snapshots of the components. That is, the DMS may cause the computing system to generate multiple individual snapshots that together may constitute snapshot of the computing object. The DMS may generate the first snapshot that includes metadata for the snapshots of the components. The metadata may include a first identifier for the first snapshot and respective identifiers for the respective snapshots of the components.

Abstract: Systems and methods for cloud object storage and versioning are provided. In an example, a cloud object storage and versioning system (COSVS) coordinates insertion of metadata into a database and data into an object store in a compute infrastructure, the compute infrastructure including the database, the object store, a data source, and a client application interacting with the data source. The COSVS has an architecture comprising a client API layer confined to provide an interface to the client application to facilitate storing or restoring of items originally obtained from the data source, and query different versions of item content originally obtained from the data source; a deduplication layer to deduplicate item content and store items originally obtained from the data source devoid of external item metadata or semantic relations among items; and a packing layer confined to store and retrieve bytes of item or object content.

Abstract: Some examples relate generally to computer architecture software for information security and, in some more particular aspects, to a frontier service engine for the real-time detection of malware in a monitored system.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that manage machine backups, including the creation of virtual machine packages sufficient to instantiate virtual machines corresponding to the backups. In one aspect, a compute infrastructure includes many machines, which may be either physical or virtual. From time to time, snapshots of the states of these target machines are pulled and saved. Virtual machine packages corresponding to these snapshots are also created. A virtual machine package can be used to instantiate a virtual machine (VM) emulating the target machine with the saved state on a destination virtual machine platform. At some point, the initial VM package for a target machine is created by converting the snapshot to a VM package. However, this may take a long time. Later VM packages can instead be created by updating a prior VM package according to differences between the corresponding snapshots, rather than performing the full conversion process.
