Patent number: 11941280Abstract: Techniques are provided for caching data during an on-demand restore using a cloud block map. A client may be provided with access to an on-demand volume during a restore process that copies backup data from a snapshot within a remote object store to the on-demand volume stored within local storage. In response to receiving a request from the client for a block of the backup data not yet restored from the snapshot to the on-demand volume, the block may be retrieved from the snapshot in the remote object store. The block may be cached within a cloud block map stored within the local storage as a cached block. The client may be provided with access to the cached block.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Jagavar Nehra, Roopesh Chuggani, Abhisar, Sumith Makam

Patent number: 11921594Abstract: An illustrative approach accelerates file indexing operations for block-level backup copies in a data storage management system. A cache storage area is maintained for locally storing and serving key data blocks, thus relying less on retrieving data on demand from the backup copy. File indexing operations are used for populating the cache storage area for speedier retrieval during subsequent live browsing of the same backup copy, and vice versa. The key data blocks cached while file indexing and/or live browsing an earlier backup copy help to pre-fetch corresponding data blocks of later backup copies, thus producing a beneficial learning cycle. The approach is especially beneficial for cloud and tape backup media, and is available for a variety of data sources and backup copies, including block-level backup copies of virtual machines (VMs) and block-level backup copies of file systems, including UNIX-based and Windows-based operating systems and corresponding file systems.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Inventors: Pratik S. Rana, Henry Wallace Dornemann, Amit Mitkar, Deepak Raghunath Attarde, Ashwin Gautamchand Sancheti

Patent number: 11914477Abstract: The disclosed enhancements optimize the use of the live browse cache and pseudo-disk storage areas, improving metadata handling so that it can be used more effectively to speed up live browse and file indexing of backup copies in a data storage management system. The enhancements operate granularly to identify within each extent being backed up smaller sectors that comprise metadata. The disclosed approach pre-fetches the metadata of the backup copy before allowing the file scan of the file indexing and/or the live browse operation to proceed. The backup operation, the file indexing operation, and the live browse operation are enhanced to handle the more granular metadata sectors without changing the granularity of the full extents generated and stored in the backup.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Pratik S. Rana, Deepak Raghunath Attarde

Patent number: 11886463Abstract: A system, method and apparatus in which a client computer initiates and communicates a distributed ledger transaction, which transaction is labeled with a timestamp. A first hashing algorithm are applied to the transaction data and timestamp data to create a first hash value, and the first hash value is associated with the transaction data. When a second distributed ledger transaction is initiated, a second hashing algorithm is applied to the second transaction data to generate a second hash value, and a third hashing algorithm is applied to the to the first and second hash values to create a third hash value which is associated with the second transaction data. The procedure is implemented with each additional transaction data submission.

Patent number: 11874747Abstract: A method and system for stream optimized backups to a cloud object store. When considering data protection, many prominent applications engage in backup operations by streaming their respective data to the cloud; however, the stream(s) is/are often ill-optimized (e.g., non-uniform data rates, non-uniform block sizes, different backup types, non-uniform data types or formats, etc.) to be written into cloud storage. The disclosed method and system, accordingly, propose a dynamic framework through which any arbitrary backup stream may be optimized according to the profile of any specific cloud-based object data store.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Sunil Yadav, Amarendra Behera, Shelesh Chopra

Patent number: 11874807Abstract: A cloud-native global file system is augmented to include a file exporter (or, more generally, a file export tool) that facilitates an enterprise customer's use of a cloud-native tool that would otherwise be unable to operate against the global file system's underlying file system representation. In a typical use case, the file exporter is configured to extract in a native object format and to an unencrypted target (e.g., an S3 bucket, an Azure storage account, and the like) all or a portion of a volume's data from the underlying file system representation. In this manner, the exporter creates a copy of the data set that the enterprise user can then leverage against the desired cloud-native tool or other cloud services that are not under the management or control of the global file system service provider.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Nasuni CorporationInventors: Russell Andrew Neufeld, Max Picard Perry, John Adam Carter

Patent number: 11860955Abstract: A computing device hosting a website of a business may be operable to receive a first search input comprising a term submitted via a search bar on the website. Upon performing an internal search for the term with no result, the computing device may output information on the no-result. The computing device may then perform, using one or more external search engines, a search for the term. Search results of the search, performed using the external search engine(s), may be analyzed. Based on a result of the analysis, one or more particular character strings related to the term may be identified. The computing device may generate and store, based on the identifying of the particular character string(s), one or more alternative search suggestions. Upon subsequently receiving an input comprising at least a portion of the term entered in the search bar, the computing device may output the alternative search suggestion(s).Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2023Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: TRANSFORM SR BRANDS LLCInventors: Rongkai Zhao, Zhenyu Lu, Kenneth Katschke

Patent number: 11841771Abstract: A data auto-backup system includes a main server and a terminal device. The main server includes a registered account, and the terminal device includes an application connected to the main server. When the application of the terminal device detects a registered portable storage device connected to the connection port, the application reads a local file stored in the registered portable storage device, and uploads the local file to the registered account in the main server as a cloud backup file. As a result, the terminal device automatically backs up the local file of the registered portable storage device to the main server whenever the registered portable storage device is connected, saving the user from manual backup steps, and preventing valuable data from missing. Furthermore, a software solution to encrypt data in the portable devices is employed without introducing any hardware to the existing portable devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2023Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: AMARYLLO INC.Inventors: Chao-Tung Yang, Wei-Jen Lee

Patent number: 11822434Abstract: A storage manager for an information management system determines whether one or more predetermined conditions have been met for transferring metadata of previously performed backup jobs stored in a first management database. A backup job may correspond to a backup operation of a primary storage device of a first client computing device. In response to a determination that one or more of the predetermined conditions have been met, the storage manager may transfer metadata for a second plurality of backup jobs to a second management database of a recovery manager. The recovery manager may receive a request to restore data to the primary storage device of the first client computing device based on the metadata of the second plurality of backup jobs. A media agent managed by the recovery manager may then restore the requested data to the primary storage device of the first client computing device.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2023Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventor: Prasad Nara
