Publication number: 20180314457Abstract: A method for executing complex data protection operations is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes generating multiple complex data protection operations, where each complex data protection operation includes multiple data protection functions pre-arranged in a specified order and on a specified schedule. The method further presents the multiple complex data protection operations to a user in the form of a menu. This menu includes multiple menu options, where each menu option is associated with one of the complex data protection operations. The method further enables the user to select a menu option, and executes the complex data protection operation associated with the menu option selected by the user. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2017Publication date: November 1, 2018Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stefan Bender, Mauro Cruciani, Avishai H. Hochberg, Mandeep K. Jandir, Sean E. Jones, Lana Khorosheva, Joanne T. Nguyen, James P. Smith, Steven V. Voyk, Martine B. Wedlake, Anthony Wong, Christopher Zaremba

Patent number: 9800569Abstract: During a data protection operation, a system exploits a virtual hierarchy to centralize the configuration and management of operating system credentials of numerous virtual guests. For each virtual guest, the system uses the credential to collect a single Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) previously generated and stored in-guest by any data protection agent. The system stores the collected GUID as a custom property in the context of the virtual hierarchy. The system also exploits the virtual hierarchy custom properties to determine if GUIDs are copies due to virtual guest replication. The system ensures GUID uniqueness by requesting regeneration of the GUID by in-guest data protection agents. Using GUIDs that are unique across the virtual hierarchy, the system can correlate application data of multiple in-guest data protection agents.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert C. Edwards, Jr., Avishai H. Hochberg, Jawed Iqbal, Tai W. Nam, Joanne T. Nguyen, Neil G. Rasmussen, James P. Smith, Peter B. Symonds, Jean X. Yu

Publication number: 20150358309Abstract: A system correlates application information from within a virtual guest to an entity managing off-host data protection. During a data protection operation, the system exploits the virtual hierarchy to centralize the configuration and management of operating system credentials of numerous virtual guests. For each virtual guest, the system uses the credential to collect a single Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) previously generated and stored in-guest by any data protection agent. The system stores the collected GUID as a custom property in the context of the virtual hierarchy. The system also exploits the virtual hierarchy custom properties to determine if GUIDs are copies due to virtual guest replication. The system ensures GUID's uniqueness by requesting regeneration of the GUID by in-guest data protection agents. Using GUIDs that are unique across the virtual hierarchy, from the entity managing off-host data protection, the system can correlate application data of multiple in-guest data protection agents.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2014Publication date: December 10, 2015Inventors: Robert C. Edwards, Jr., Avishai H. Hochberg, Jawed Iqbal, Tai W. Nam, Joanne T. Nguyen, Neil G. Rasmussen, James P. Smith, Peter B. Symonds, Jean X. Yu

Patent number: 8630982Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: June 21, 2012Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bryan Wayne Freeman, Alexei Kojenov, Joanne T. Nguyen, Delbert Barron Hoobler, III

Patent number: 8024298Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for backing-up and restoring files including files referenced with multiple file names. Files to backup are determined. A determination is made from the files to backup files referenced with multiple names. An entry is created for each file to backup in a backup directory indicating file attributes and each name used to reference the file. The determined files and the backup directory are backed-up.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2010Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James Michael Dile, Joanne T. Nguyen, Vadzim Ivanovich Piletski, James Patrick Smith

Publication number: 20100306523Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for restoring a source file referenced by multiple file names to a restore file. An operation is processed to restore a source file having a first file name to a restore file, wherein the source file is in a state of being accessed by a process. A determination is made as to whether a second file name references the source file. A first temporary file name and a second temporary file name are created that both reference the restore file in response to determining that the second file name references the source file. The first temporary file name is renamed to the first file name and the second temporary file name is renamed to the second file name. After the renaming of the first and second temporary file names, the first and second file names reference the restore file.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2010Publication date: December 2, 2010Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Joanne T.
