Publication number: 20240048614Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein reduce or eliminate a communication bottleneck at the storage manager by reducing communication with the storage manager while maintaining functionality of an information management system. In some implementations, a client obtains information for enabling a secondary storage job (e.g., a backup or restore) from a storage manager and stores the information (which may be referred to as job metadata) in a local cache. The client may then reuse the job metadata for multiple storage jobs reducing the frequency of communication with the storage manager. When a configuration of the information management system changes, or the availability of resources changes, the storage manager can push updates to the job metadata to the clients. Further, a client can periodically request updated job metadata from the storage manager ensuring that the client does not rely on out-of-date job metadata.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Manoj Kumar PRADHAN, Hemant MISHRA, Dmitriy Borisovich ZAKHARKIN, Sanath KUMAR, Hetalkumar N.

Publication number: 20230168970Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide users with granular current information about backup operations that completed at their user devices, regardless of whether a backup job as a whole, which comprises a plurality of backup operations across multiple computing devices, is presently complete or incomplete. Accordingly, an illustrative information management system comprises feature enhancements that collect granular information about data storage operations occurring at a client device, so that up-to-date status thereof may be provided to querying users on demand. Thus, the illustrative system need not wait for the completion of the backup job to answer status queries about backup operations occurring before the full completion of the backup job. Moreover, data backed up in one of these backup operations may be restored on demand independently of whether the backup job as a whole is presently complete or incomplete.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Manoj Kumar PRADHAN, Parag GOKHALE, Anand VIBHOR, Amey Vijaykumar KARANDIKAR, Gopikannan VENUGOPALSAMY

Publication number: 20230034651Abstract: Indexing preferences generally associate each data source with a type of indexing technology and/or with an index/catalog and/or with a computing device that hosts the index/catalog for tracking backup data generated from the source data. Indexing preferences govern which index/catalog receives transaction logs for a given storage operation. Thus, indexing destinations are defined granularly and flexibly in reference to the source data. Load balancing without user intervention assures that the various index/catalogs are fairly distributed in the illustrative backup systems by autonomously initiating migration jobs. Criteria for initiating migration jobs are based on past usage and going-forward trends. An illustrative migration job re-associates data sources with a different destination media agent and/or index/catalog, including transferring some or all relevant transaction logs and/or indexing information from the old host to the new host.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Pavan Kumar Reddy BEDADALA, Parag GOKHALE, Pavlo MAZUR, Prakash VARADHARAJAN, Ankur VARSHENY, Gopikannan VENUGOPALSAMY, Marcelo DOS REIS MANSANO

Publication number: 20220283989Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein reduce or eliminate a communication bottleneck at the storage manager by reducing communication with the storage manager while maintaining functionality of an information management system. In some implementations, operations performed as part of a backup process may be stored in transaction logs. These transaction logs may include information about a transaction performed between the client computing system and the network storage that hosts the backup of the client computing system. The transaction logs may be provided to a secondary storage system that can be used to form a backup index. The backup index may be used to facilitate accessing the data stored at the network storage. Advantageously, generating the transaction logs and separating the generation of the backup index from the backup process can reduce resource usage during performance of the backup and speed up the backup process while further reducing interaction with the storage manager.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Pavan Kumar Reddy BEDADALA, Manoj Kumar PRADHAN, Hemant MISHRA, Gopikannan VENUGOPALSAMY

Patent number: 11321188Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein relate to an improved information management system that can perform provider-specific data protection methods for cloud-stored data. In one embodiment, the information management system accesses a pod specification that indicates information usable to execute a containerized application on behalf of a user, and determines the cloud provider system configured to provide one or more computing resources for execution the containerized application. Using a provider-specific interface that is specific to the determined cloud provider system, the information management system creates a snapshot of a cloud storage volume associated with the containerized application and accesses the data inside the snapshot. The accessed data is stored onto a secondary storage device, and the snapshot is removed from the cloud provider system, thereby providing an efficient backup solution for the data used for executing the containerized application on the container orchestrator system.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Amit Mitkar, Sumedh Pramod Degaonkar, Gopikannan Venugopalsamy
