  • Patent number: 11188423
    Abstract: Operating a data processing and storage apparatus to perform continuous backup monitoring for a collection of stored file system objects. In response to changes respective to a number of the file system objects, a set of Data Management Application Program Interface (DMAPI) events is created. For each of the events, accessory file system object information relative to a file system object subject to the change is determined. The events are grouped into an event group and a unique group identifier and an overall group size count are assigned to each of the events included in the event group. The events are sent together with the respective accessory file system object information, the respective group identifier and the respective group size to a number of backup clients registered as applications. The backup clients are to process the events together with the respective accessory file system object information, the respective group identifier and the respective group size into a number of backup requests.

  • Patent number: 11108625
    Abstract: Message routing techniques include use of at least one controller module configured to maintain a graph. The graph defines communication relations between a plurality of message communication modules. Each communication relation defines a particular message type for a particular pair of modules. The plurality of message communication modules includes a first module configured to receive a message wherein the received message has a message type and is associated with least one pre-condition. Upon verification of an acceptance condition of the at least one pre-condition the received message is accepted if the acceptance condition is fulfilled. Upon verification of a generating condition of the at least one pre-condition, the first module generates a generated message directed to at least a second module or an external data consumer in accordance with the graph if the generating condition is fulfilled.
