Abstract: A method for backing up a storage volume that includes receiving, by a volume manager, a block allocation table of a cloned storage volume backup, selecting a modification entry that comprises a volume offset for modified file data, obtaining a backup offset for the cloned storage volume backup based on the block allocation table and the volume offset, updating, based on the backup offset, the block allocation table to obtain an updated block allocation table, and sending the modified file data and the updated block allocation table to a backup server.

Abstract: A multi-tenant environment is described with configurable hardware logic (e.g., a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)) positioned on a host server computer. For communicating with the configurable hardware logic, an intermediate host integrated circuit (IC) is positioned between the configurable hardware logic and virtual machines executing on the host server computer. The host IC can include management functionality and mapping functionality to map requests between the configurable hardware logic and the virtual machines. Shared peripherals can be located either on the host IC or the configurable hardware logic. The host IC can apportion resources amongst the different configurable hardware logics to ensure that no one customer can over consume resources.

Abstract: A backup storage for managing backups of clients includes persistent storage and a backup analyzer. The persistent storage includes the backups, protection policies, and an early deletion schedule. The backup analyzer obtains a request to analyze a protection policy of the protection policies; in response to obtaining the request: obtains backup data information associated with the protection policy; makes a determination, based on the backup data information and the protection policy, that a portion of the backups associated with the protection policies overprotect a client of the clients associated with the protection policy; and modifies the early deletion schedule based on the determination to obtain a modified early deletion schedule.

Abstract: To implement robotic inspection of an in-service tank through the lower wall, a launch system is operatively coupled to the in-service tank carrying a multiphase fluid separated into a first fluid phase settled at the bottom of the in-service tank and a second fluid phase floating above the first fluid phase. The launch system includes multiple valves and is coupled to the bottom of the in-service tank. By operating the launch system, a robotic tank inspection device is introduced into the first fluid phase in the in-service tank while bypassing the second fluid phase. By operating the robotic tank inspection device, the bottom of the in-service tank is inspected for corrosion.

Abstract: A backup manager for managing backup services includes persistent storage and a backup analyzer. The persistent storage includes a backup data repository and protection policies. The backup analyzer identifies a new backup stored in backup storage; performs a backup compatibility analysis on the new backup to determine inter-backup compatibility of the identified new backup; updates the backup data repository based on the inter-backup compatibility to obtain an updated backup data repository; and modifies a backup schedule using the updated backup data repository to meet a requirement of a protection policy of the protection policies.

Abstract: A manager for managing generation of backups for clients includes persistent storage and a backup manager. The persistent storage stored protection policies associated with the clients and native backup functionality information associated with the clients. The backup manager programmed obtains a portion of the native backup functionality information from a client of the clients; obtains at least one protection policy of the protection policies that is associated with the client; makes a determination that the at least one protection policy and the portion of the native backup functionality information are unique; in response to the determination: generates modifier data based on: the portion of the native backup functionality information and the at least one protection policy; and generates a backup for the client using a modifier associated with the modifier data.
