  • Individual object restore
    Patent number: 8630982
    Abstract: A method for restoring an object comprises receiving a request to restore an object. Also, the method includes outputting a representation of available backup files and receiving a selection of at least one of the available backup files. Further, the method comprises restoring at least one of the selected backup files into a temporary location and mounting at least one of the restored backup files as a server. In addition, the method includes outputting a representation of available objects from the server and receiving a selection of at least one of the available objects to be restored from the server. Also, the method includes copying one or more selected objects from the server into an Active Directory.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus, System, and Method for Volume-Level Restoration of Cluster Server Data
    Publication number: 20110202507
    Abstract: A setup module saves disk signatures identifying cluster disks for at least one source volume to a device distinct from the cluster disks. A copy module copies data with a volume-level restore from at least one snapshot volume to the at least one source volume, overwriting the disk signatures identifying the cluster disks so that the cluster disks cannot be accessed. A reset module rewrites the saved disk signatures to the cluster disks.

  • Apparatus, system, and method for volume-level restoration of cluster server data
    Patent number: 7992036
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for restoring cluster server data at a volume level. A setup module opens at least one source volume of a cluster server for a volume-level restore, flushes each buffer for the at least one source volume, closes the at least one source volume, disables file system checks for the cluster disks, saves disk signatures of the cluster disks, and disables device-level checks for the cluster disks. A copy module copies data with a volume-level restore from the at least one snapshot volume to the at least one source volume. A reset module rewrites the saved disk signatures to the cluster disks, re-enables the device-level checks for the cluster disks, and resets at least one volume attribute on the at least one source volume.
