Publication number: 20230409446Abstract: Communications are exchanged with a copy service of a host to identify writers associated with the copy service. The identification includes a type of a writer as being a system or application writer. Writers identified as system writers are added to a list of writers that should participate in a backup operation. For writers identified as application writers, components of an application writer are iterated through to determine whether a component of the application writer has a name or logical path that includes a name of a system service. When any component has the name or logical path that includes the name of the system service, the application writer is promoted to be of type system writer by adding the application writer to the list of writers that should participate in the backup operation. Components of each writer listed in the list of writers are backed up.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Amarendra Behera, Shelesh Chopra, Tushar Dethe, Prabhat Kumar Dubey, Roland Fernandes, Sunil Yadav

Patent number: 11829630Abstract: Described is a system (and method) for providing multiple types of granular delete operations for a cloud-based object storage. The system may include a server that acts as an intermediary between a client device and an object storage that stores client data. The server may allow a client to perform a hard delete (or permanent) delete and a soft delete. The server may perform a specialized processing to synthetically create the soft delete feature using a permanent object delete operation provided by the object storage. The specialized processing may include manipulating retention periods associated with objects depending on whether the object is subject to a hard delete or a soft delete. As a result, the server may provide the ability for clients to perform a soft delete at an object level using existing storage level APIs that do not directly support such a feature.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Ravi Vijayakumar Chitloor, Sunil Yadav, Shelesh Chopra, Amarendra Behera, PrabhatKumar Dubey, Deependra Singh, Jigar Bhanushali, Himanshu Arora, Tushar Dethe

Patent number: 11809280Abstract: Described is a system for synchronizing expiration times for incremental backup data stored on a cloud-based object storage. More particularly, the system may provide a layer of intelligence when updating the expiration times associated with backup data to ensure that a full recovery of the client data to a point-in-time of any incremental backup may be performed. To provide such a capability, the system may maintain specialized metadata identifying expiration times for objects and a list of objects required to perform a full recovery to a point-in-time for each of the performed backups (e.g. full or incremental). The system may access this metadata to identify which objects stored by a previous backup are still referenced by a subsequent backup. Based on the identified objects, the system may synchronize object expiration times to ensure objects are not prematurely deleted from the object storage.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Shelesh Chopra, Sunil Yadav, Amarendra Behera, Ravi Vijayakumar Chitloor, Tushar Dethe, Himanshu Arora, Prabhat Kumar Dubey, Jigar Bhanushali, Deependra Singh

Patent number: 11734124Abstract: Described is a system for rule-based re-tiering of backup data stored on a cloud-based object storage. More specifically, the system may re-tier objects based on one or more storage rules such that the system retains the ability to efficiently perform a full restore of backup data even when incremental backups are performed to a cloud-based object storage. To provide such a capability, the system may maintain a specialized metadata database that stores information indicating the backup time for each backup, and a list of objects required to perform a full restore to each of the backup times. Accordingly, when initiating a re-tiering based on one or more storage rules, the system may intelligently select candidate objects for re-tiering by leveraging the metadata database to ensure that objects that may still need to be referenced are not unnecessarily moved to a lower storage tier.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Ravi Vijayakumar Chitloor, Sunil Yadav, Shelesh Chopra, Amarendra Behera, Tushar Dethe, Deependra Singh, Prabhat Kumar Dubey, Himanshu Arora, Jigar Bhanushali
