Abstract: An illustrative “open archive” architecture relieves the immediate need to add network-attached storage (NAS) devices to a storage management system. The open archive architecture provides streamlined access to live production data, which originally was stored on a NAS device but which is archived to secondary storage to free up NAS space.

The open archive layer intercepts data-access calls coming into the NAS device, e.g., open calls, read calls, write calls. The intercepted calls are reported to the open-archive server for analysis.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selectively storing data on a server. The method operates by accessing a computer file and defining a data block as a current block of data. The current block is subsequently checksummed using a rolling error identification code. The method then determines if the calculated checksum for the current block has been previously stored in a database. If a matching checksum for the data is found in the database, then a duplicate of the current block already exists and the process repeats by selecting a new block of data. Alternatively, if the calculated checksum is absent from the checksum and the process has advanced one block length, the process moves back one block length and stores the current block in an archive. Otherwise, the checksum advances one byte forward to form a new current block of data and the process repeats.

Abstract: The local storage performs remote copy to the remote storage. For low traffic failback remote copy, the remote storage performs a delta copy to the local storage, the delta being the difference between the remote storage and local storage. The local storage backs up snapshot data. The remote storage resolves the difference of the snapshot of the local storage and the remote storage. The difference resolution method can take one of several approaches. First, the system informs the timing of snapshot of the local storage to the remote storage and records the accessed area of the data. Second, the system informs the timing of snapshot of the local storage to the remote storage, and the remote storage makes a snapshot and compares the snapshot and remote copied data. Third, the system compares the local data and remote copy data with hashed data.
