Patent number: 11934344Abstract: In certain instances, a data management application (software application) that manages moving data files, and the like, from a primary high-speed storage system. An end-user can configure the data management application for particular files via management policies. Based on the management policies, after a file is migrated from the primary storage system to a targeted secondary storage system, a breadcrumb pointing to a webpage for the migrated file is left behind in the primary storage system. The webpage can be used to manage the migrated file, such as moving the migrated file back to the primary storage system.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Leon Braunstein, David Lee Trachy, John Walter Kranz, Kumar Goswami, Krishna Subramanian, Mohit Dhawan, Michael Peercy

Patent number: 11829257Abstract: Due to the threat of virus attacks and ransom ware, an apparatus and methods for protecting backup storage devices from malicious software virus attacks is explored. An independent backup storage system is connected to a primary storage server over an undiscoverable communications line. The backup storage system is a read-only backup storage system most of the time buffering the backup storage system from a virus or attack on the primary storage server. The backup storage system changes from a read-only backup storage system to a read/write backup storage system only during a backup window of time where data is backed up to the backup storage system. A snapshot of the backup data is maintained in the backup storage system and can be made available at numerous points of time in the past if the data primary storage server becomes corrupted.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2023Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: David Lee Trachy, Joshua Daniel Carter

Patent number: 11528324Abstract: Due to slow download speeds from a cloud server to an end-user and the high costs associated therewith, described is a private environment that manages and utilizes resources provided by a public cloud and the storage horsepower of a private server. Certain embodiments envision syncing data objects across at least one cloud data bucket located in a public cloud and at least one server data bucket located in at least one private server. Certain aspects explore using a software platform that manages syncing data from a cloud data bucket to a server data bucket by way of asynchronous notifications from the cloud data bucket to the software platform. However, syncing data in the opposite direction from the server data bucket to the cloud data bucket is by way of direct syncing and not through asynchronous notifications. Conflict resolution is also described when two different data object versions are uploaded to two different data buckets before the data objects can be synced across the data buckets.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: Joseph T Frank, David Lee Trachy

Patent number: 11107501Abstract: A method for securing user data that is stored to a tape cartridge having a medium auxiliary memory (MAM) is described. When user data is sent to a tape library from a client, the tape library sends a request to a cloud based key management service for a data key to encrypt the user data and an encrypted data key that corresponds to the data key. The data key is used to encrypt the user data which is then stored to the tape cartridge and the encrypted data key is stored to the MAM. Upon decrypting the encrypted user data, the encrypted data key is extracted from the MAM and sent to the cloud based key management service where it is used to produce the data key from the cloud based key management service which is then sent to the tape library. When the tape library is in possession of the data key, the encrypted data in the tape cartridge can then be decrypted and sent to a requester of the user data.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: Joseph T Frank, David Lee Trachy
