Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up and restoring virtual machines in a cluster environment. An instrumentation interface enables configuration data to be stored with save sets during backup and enables the configuration of the destination to be adjusted based on the stored configuration during a restore.

Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up data and for restoring at least sub-sets of the backed up data or for restoring sub-sets of data from a single file. An offset map is generated when backing up data. The offset map identifies at least starting locations of files and data records in the backup. A request for specific data is accommodated by identified the start locations of the specific data and then extracting the requested data from the backup. The requested data can then be restored independently of the entire backup.

Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up and restoring virtual machines in a cluster environment. Proxy nodes in the cluster are configured with agents. The agents are configured to perform backup operations and restore operations for virtual machines operating in the cluster. During a backup operation or during a restore operation, a load associated with the backup/restore operation is distributed across at least some of the proxy nodes. The proxy nodes can backup/restore virtual machines on any of the nodes in the cluster.

Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up and restoring virtual machines in a cluster environment. A cluster agent that is cluster aware operates as an interface with the backup server. The cluster agent can locate the virtual machines being backed up or restored and coordinate with a local agent to perform the backup or restore of the virtual machines.

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.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a system and associated logic to enable browsing of a federated backup having a plurality of portions, each portion separately generated and indexed by a plurality of nodes. In one embodiment, the system performs a federated backup by generating a unique identifier on a primary node and providing the unique identifier to each secondary node tasked with generating the plurality of portions. The secondary nodes associate the unique identifier with each of the plurality of portions. The unique identifier can then be used by a recovery UI to generate and display a consolidated view of the plurality of portions.

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.

Abstract: A remote snapshot is taken of a data associated with a node within a cluster of nodes by using a snapshot facility of an operating system. A set of backup data components is recorded. The data is remotely restored by interpreting the remote snapshot with the set of backup data components.

Abstract: An incremental backup of a database includes issuing a request to a copy service requesting a snapshot of a volume having the database, and identifying a writer of the database that should participate in creating the snapshot. From the snapshot, changes to the database since a last backup of the database and log files associated with the database that include data not yet committed to the database, are transmitted to a backup storage unit.

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.
