  • Patent number: 10719486
    Abstract: Systems and methods for granularly recovering a backup are provided. An image of a backup is mounted as a file system such that the files can be granularly restored. Image-level recovery and file-level recovery can be achieved from the same backup. The backup may also be de-duplicated.

  • Patent number: 10417027
    Abstract: A snapshot of a remote virtual machine within a cluster of nodes is taken by using an image writer with a snapshot provider. A set of backup components is recorded by using a cluster interface. The remote virtual machine is reconstructed by using the snapshot and a framework with the set of backup components.

  • Patent number: 10102080
    Abstract: An application on a client is presented with a target destination for a backup of data managed by the application. The target destination includes a virtual drive. Data backed up by the application to the virtual drive is received. The data is directed to a de-duplication library executing on the client, where the de-duplication library is separate from the application.

  • Patent number: 9396071
    Abstract: Techniques for managing virtual machine backup are described herein. According to one embodiment, a virtual machine (VM) management console queries VM backup data stored in backup servers. The VM management console manages VMs running within data processing systems over a network. In response to the request, the VM management console retrieves backup operational data from backup servers, the backup operational data describing the VM backup data backed up from the data processing system. A VM backup report is generated having the backup operational data therein and VM information of VMs that are associated with the VM backup data described by the backup operational data. The VM backup report is presented in the VM management console to allow a user to select one or more of the VMs to be recovered from the backup servers.

  • Patent number: 9235606
    Abstract: A set of objects associated with an incremental backup is determined where the set of objects includes one or more full backup objects associated with a full backup from which the incremental backup depends. A backup is performed using the set of objects, including by setting one or more timestamps associated with the one or more full backup objects to a time later than the full backup.
