  • Patent number: 11327802
    Abstract: Systems and methods for exporting logical object metadata. In one example, the system includes an electronic processor configured to receive a first input from a user. The first input includes a logical object location and at least one metadata export option. The electronic processor is also configured to create an export job based upon the first input. The electronic processor is also configured to store the export job in a job queue, determine when a computing resource is available to execute the export job, and execute the export job when the computing resource is available. The electronic processor is also configured to store a job manifest in a memory location. In one example, the job manifest includes metadata for each logical object located in the logical object location.

  • Patent number: 11226944
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for cache management. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, the server computer can be configured to communicate with a client device configured to execute a cache module to maintain a cache storing data downloaded from and/or uploaded to the server computer by the client device. The server computer can be configured to receive requests for data stored at the server computer. The server computer can be configured to respond to the request with hashes that correspond to the requested data. The client device can search the cache for the hashes, obtain the data from the cache if the hashes are found, and/or download the data from the server computer if the hashes are not found. The client device also can be configured to update the cache upon uploading the data to the server computer.

  • Patent number: 10826689
    Abstract: A data file is encrypted with a file-specific encryption key and sent to a remote data storage system. The file-specific encryption key is encrypted with a master key. The encrypted file-specific encryption key and the master key are both stored remotely from the encrypted file and they are stored remotely from one another.

  • Patent number: 10261943
    Abstract: Data to be moved from a source system to a target system, for a set of tenants, is first identified. The data is enumerated by a first computing instance in the source system to obtain an enumeration list. Data is copied from the source system to the target system based on the enumeration list by a second computing instance. The data in the source and target systems is then enumerated by a third computing instance to determine whether any data is still to be moved and another enumeration list is generated. The data still to be moved is then moved based on the other enumeration list.

  • Publication number: 20160321133
    Abstract: A post-encryption checksum is generated for a file to be stored on a remote storage location. It can be generated before sending the encrypted file to the remote storage system. A post-write checksum can be received from the remote storage system. The post-write checksum is generated after the encrypted file is written there. A comparison of the two checksums indicates whether the file has been correctly written to the remote storage system.

  • Patent number: 8744999
    Abstract: As changes are made to a document, each change may be assigned an extended identifier comprising a globally unique identifier (GUID) component and an integer component. Upon determining that the same GUID component is used in identifiers for multiple changes, the GUID component may be mapped to a range of indices. Each index of the range of indices may then be used to represent the same GUID component in each extended identifier.

  • Publication number: 20040134229
    Abstract: Articles fabricated from prefabricated strings of beads. The strings of beads are joined perpendicularly by applying pressure such that the cords cross and remain crossed due to the tension in the cords. The strings of beads are thus assembled into a mesh or fabric, two such fabrics being optionally interleaved to form a denser fabric; the strings are also assembled into items so as to fit a person's body or cover some other article. The strings of beads are also formed into loops, and formed into fringes to further adorn the articles. Many colors and styles of strings of beads are assembled, both singly and in combination, and designs are incorporated into the articles, producing multiple appearances. A great variety of articles are produced, including all manner of clothing, flags, bags, containers, novelties, wraps, etc.
