Patent number: 8346728Abstract: Managing backup data comprises accessing a snapshot of a data set, wherein the data set includes at least one object and the snapshot includes a replica of the data set, and adding to an index associated with the snapshot, with respect to each of one or more objects included in the snapshot, index data indicating at least where the object is located within the snapshot.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: EMC CorporationInventor: Nathan Kryger

Patent number: 8024292Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up and/or restoring data. When a backup operation is initiated, systems and methods are provided for creating a single snapshot of the backup items, including backup groupings. The single snapshot is used by a backup/recovery application to perform a save process on each backup grouping. By using the same snapshot, the backup is performed based on the same point in time so that the backed up data across the client system is consistent and synchronized. When a recovery operation is initiated, recovery items (e.g., backup groupings, writers and writer components) are selected from backup grouping of the client.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2005Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Dianne C. Thompson, Carolina P. Uhlmann, Janet L. Schneider, Eric A. Herrmann, Patrick M. Simonich, Nathan A. Kryger

Patent number: 7937372Abstract: Managing backup data comprises mounting a snapshot of a file system. Each of the plurality of snapshots is taken at a particular time and each comprises a replica of the data set at that particular time. The mounted snapshot is accessed. For each of the one or more file system objects included in the accessed snapshot, index data is added which indicates that each of the one or more file system objects is located within the accessed snapshot. This information is added to an index associated with the snapshot so that it is able to be determined, using the index and without having to again mount the accessed snapshot, whether an object of interest is included in the snapshot.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2010Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: EMC CorporationInventor: Nathan Kryger

Patent number: 7606815Abstract: Non-recursive traversal of hierarchical data structures is disclosed. Elements inside a hierarchical data structure are processed beginning at a first level of the hierarchical data structure. In the event that a branch point associated with a second level of the hierarchical data structure is encountered, a marker data associated with a location of the branch point within the hierarchical data structure is stored inside a user allocated data structure, and the marker stored in the user allocated data structure is used to enable elements, if any, in the second level and any remaining elements in the first level, if any, to be processed without recursion.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: EMC CorporationInventor: Nathan Kryger

Patent number: 7529777Abstract: Restoring a directory service object attribute is disclosed. An identification of the directory service object attribute is received for a set of two or more directory service objects across which the directory service object attribute is to be restored. The directory service object attribute is selectively restored across the set of directory service objects.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2006Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: EMC CorporationInventor: Nathan Kryger
