  • Publication number: 20230153207
    Abstract: A device for merging backup policies is configured to determine, if a first backup policy comprising a first set of rules, and a second backup policy comprising a second set of rules, are assigned to a backup object. The device is further configured to, when the first backup policy and the second backup policy are assigned to the backup object, generate a merged backup policy comprising a merged set of rules, based on the first backup policy and the second backup policy. A resource consumption of a backup created according to the merged backup policy is below a predefined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230153005
    Abstract: A block storage device, for data compression is configured to, in a first operating phase, if it is determined, by the block storage device, that a data block is to be written to a large block storage area of the block storage device, determine if the data block can be de-duplicated. If the data block cannot be de-duplicated, the block storage device stores the data block using large block compression.

  • Patent number: 11645398
    Abstract: A data manager includes persistent storage and a data register. The persistent storage stores an identity chain and a data availability chain. The data register obtains data associated with an entity registered with the identity chain using a public key associated with the entity; obtains an object identifier associated with the data by storing the data in a data storage as a record; and records, on the data availability chain, both of: the record using a private key associated with the entity, and the object identifier.

  • Patent number: 11599423
    Abstract: Managing backup copies in a right to delete personal data environment is described. A system creates a revised backup copy by deleting any data that a deletion request ledger specifies for deletion from a backup copy that was created for a data object. The system associates an updating time with the revised backup copy. The system retrieves the revised backup copy in response to receiving a restoration request corresponding to the revised backup copy. The system enables restoration of the data object by deleting any data i) that the deletion request ledger specifies for deletion from the revised backup copy and ii) that is associated with a deletion request time which is subsequent to the updating time.

  • Publication number: 20230019207
    Abstract: A system and method for differential compression are disclosed. In the disclosure, input data blocks selected for compression are received. For each input data block: the input data block is divided into at least two segments. For each of the at least two segments, a similarity degree between the respective segment and each of the data blocks excluding the respective data block is computed. For each of the at least two segments, the data block which has a biggest similarity degree with the respective segment among the data blocks excluding the respective data block is selected as an optimal reference data block for the respective segment. The differential compression is applied to the input data block and optimal reference blocks in response to determine a differential compression is to be applied based on the similarity degree between the segments of the input data block and the corresponding optimal reference blocks.

The backup entity is configured to: create a first backup image of the disk volume, in a backup repository. Further, the backup entity is configured to obtain a first indication from the production device, wherein the first indication is indicative of a first operation to be performed by the production device on the disk volume. The backup entity is further configured to perform the first operation on the first backup image, to obtain a second backup image in the backup repository. According to the application, a solution to mimic an operation that changes data of a production storage, in a backup system, is provided, which can reduce the amount of data sent from the production storage to the backup system and thus reduce a backup window.

  • Patent number: 11509458
    Abstract: A method and system for securely replicating encrypted deduplicated storages. Specifically, the method and system disclosed herein entail the replication and migration of encrypted data between storage systems that support deduplication. More specifically, a first encrypted data, which may have been encrypted using a first public cryptographic key and consolidated on a source storage system, may be translated into an interim (yet still encrypted) state using a first split private cryptographic key. Thereafter, using a compound conversion key, the interim state data may be further translated into a second encrypted data, which may be characterized as being encrypted by a second public cryptographic key. Therefore, substantively, the method and system disclosed herein may be directed to the translation of encrypted data from one encryption scheme to another while in-flight from a source storage system to a target storage system.
