Abstract: The innovation is the design an efficient and precise object storage backup, versioning, and point-in-time recovery solution designed for distributed storage with complex architecture like splitting data cluster from metadata cluster and running hundreds of optimization services constantly moving data. The solution works on the principle of periodically snapshotting the object storage data and metadata nodes on to a backup medium. It further adds the architecture of centralized or distributed transaction recording. The patent covers the implementation details of backup and recovery solution for OpenStack Swift, a popular free and open-source object storage system as an example and can be tweaked to work with most architecturally similar storage solutions. The innovation allows reducing CPU and diskspace requirements, backup and recovery latency and minimizing the bandwidth consumption during backup.
