Patent number: 11385970Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for hypervisor agnostic interchangeable backup recovery and file level recovery from virtual disks. Data is stored for a first virtual disk that represents data in a first format and metadata for the first virtual disk in a common data format in a storage having a fixed block length. A virtual disk file represents data in a second format that allows variable size blocks. Multiple instances of the fixed block length of blocks of data for the second virtual disk indicated in the virtual disk file are read. Each instance of the read fixed block length of blocks is written to the storage in the common data format with metadata describing the format of the blocks in the second virtual disk, and can be restored to a third virtual disk in the first or second format.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: David G. Derk, Robert C. Edwards, Jr., Michael S. Fruchtman, Avishai H. Hochberg, Vadzim I. Piletski, Delbert B. Hoobler, III, James P. Smith

Patent number: 11204844Abstract: For accessing files from block-level backups of a virtual disk, a system, method, computer program product and apparatus are disclosed. The system includes an apparatus with a changed block module that determines changed blocks between a previous and a current block-level backup of a virtual disk. A mapping module maps logical clusters of the virtual disk to the changed blocks and identifies files corresponding to the logical clusters. A changed file module designates files corresponding to the logical clusters as changed files, unless current attributes of files for the current backup match attributes of the files in a backup file index corresponding to the previous backup. The changed file module stores the current attributes and extents for changed files within blocks of a backup storage device for updating in the backup file index. The method and computer program product perform these functions and may use the system and the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael S.

Patent number: 10896157Abstract: In an approach to maintain data integrity in a computer data storage system, a clone management table is generated for a clone file tree that includes a relationship between at least one parent file and a clone file. The parent file is restored by: (i) determining that the parent-child relationship exists between the parent file and the clone file based on an entry in the clone management table, (ii) restoring data blocks in the parent file to the file system based on an analysis of an entry in the clone management table for the parent file and an identification of data blocks included in the clone file, and (iii) generating a new instance of the parent file based on the data blocks included in the file system and the entry in the clone management table for the clone file tree.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2018Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stefan Bender, Nils Haustein, Dominic Mueller-Wicke, Wayne A.

Patent number: 10896098Abstract: Provided are techniques for providing and managing data protection by using incremental forever for storage to cloud object stores. An incremental offload is performed by using one or more extents to identify blocks of data for a version of a virtual machine in operational recovery storage to be offloaded to a cloud object store, wherein each of the one or more extents identifies locations of the blocks of data. The blocks of data are converted to objects in an incremental forever data format. The objects are offloaded to the cloud object store. The details of the offloading of the objects are stored in a local database in the operational recovery storage. The local database is copied from the operational recovery storage to the cloud object store as a database copy.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Omar Vargas, Avishai H. Hochberg, Thomas F. Ramke, Jr., David G. Derk, Peter Tanenhaus, Stefan Bender, Michael S. Fruchtman, Vadzim I. Piletski, James P. Smith, Christopher Zaremba
