Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for generation and management of incremental backups of VEE file system using bitmaps. The proposed method allows users to roll back to any previous version or state of the VEE file system and to instantiate this version using the data encapsulated in virtual disk storage (i.e. file system) of the VEE. A number of VEEs run on a Host Operating System of the computer system. One of the VEEs implemented on the computer system is designated to generation and management of backups of the virtual disk data of the other VEEs without freezing the file system during the entire backup process. A special tracing application runs on the designated VEE for generating the bitmap of a file system snapshot. The user can also set up a time for generating a backup or create a schedule for automatically generating the backups at critical points.

Abstract: The invention relates to nuclear engineering and can be used for fuel clusters of nuclear reactors, for distancing and fixing fuel elements, in particular in the fuel clusters of PWR and BWR reactors. The inventive distance lattice comprises cells which are used for mounting the fuel elements or guide channels and are formed by perpendicular crossing plates. Bent blades for mixing a coolant are embodied on the plate edges at the output of said coolant. Each cell is provided with an insertable distancing element for fixing the fuel element. Said invention makes it possible to increase the turning rigidity of the cells and the stability thereof, to simultaneously reduce the size of the fixation of the fuel elements or the guiding channels in the cells and to decrease the hydraulic resistance of the lattice.

Abstract: A system for continuous data protection includes a storage device and a backup storage device. The continuous data protection procedure is performed as two parallel processes: creating an initial backup by copying a data as a file/directory from the storage device into the backup storage device, and copying the data to be written to the data storage as a part of a file/directory into the incremental backup. When a write command is directed to a file system driver, it is intercepted and redirected to the backup storage, and the data to be written in accordance with the write request, is written to the incremental backup on the backup storage. If the write command is also directed to a data (a file/directory) that has been identified for backup, but has not yet been backed up, the identified data (a file/directory) is copied from the storage device to the intermediate storage device.
