  • Patent number: 11755229
    Abstract: Archival task processing in a data storage system is described herein. A method as described herein can include designating, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, a file stored by a primary cluster of a data storage system for archival to a remote storage system; locating, by the device, a secondary cluster of the data storage system having stored thereon a copy of the file, the secondary cluster being distinct from the primary cluster; and, in response to determining that the file stored by the primary cluster matches the copy of the file stored by the secondary cluster, causing, by the device, the secondary cluster to archive the copy of the file to the remote storage system.

  • Patent number: 11210395
    Abstract: Filename-based malware pre-scanning is described herein. A method as described herein can include establishing sequential malware scanning for respective files in a first directory of a file system according to filenames of the respective files; comparing an elapsed time since a previous malware scan for a first file of the respective files in the first directory having a first filename in a filename sequence to a scan age threshold associated with a scheduled malware scan task for the first directory; and, in response to the elapsed time since the previous malware scan for the first file being determined to be less than the scan age threshold, removing the scheduled malware scan task with respect to the first file and at least one second file of the respective files in the first directory having respective second filenames in the filename sequence.

  • Patent number: 11086994
    Abstract: Priority scanning of files written by malicious users in a data storage system is described herein. A data storage system as described herein can include a user lookup component that obtains identities of users that have made at least one modification to a first file stored on the data storage system, resulting in a set of modifying users; a comparison component that compares respective modifying users of the set of modifying users to respective malicious users of a set of malicious users; and a scan priority component that, in response to the comparison component identifying at least one match between a modifying user of the set of modifying users and a malicious user of the set of malicious users, assigns a first scan priority to the first file that is higher than a second scan priority assigned to a second, different file stored on the data storage system.

  • Patent number: 11086995
    Abstract: Malware scanning for network-attached storage systems is provided herein. A data storage system as described herein can include a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can include a file identification component that obtains an identifier for a target file stored by the data storage system; a lookup component that searches a scan status data structure for a malware scan result corresponding to the identifier for the target file; and a file access component that grants access to the target file in response to the lookup component obtaining the malware scan result from the scan status data structure and the malware scan result indicating that the target file contains no malware.
