Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for thwarting a malware attack. A data storage system stores data items, some of which data items correspond to snapshots. Upon identification of a possible ransomware attack on a data item, the system identifies a version of the snapshot that is not subject to the ransomware attack and seeks to protect the data state of the system from further damage (e.g., due to performance of unauthorized operations on the version of the snapshot that is not subject to the ransomware attack) by requiring consensus from a multi-party authorization (MPA) consensus regime before carrying out requested operations over the snapshot. The MPA consensus regime operates by determining that the operation is subject to a role-based access control (RBAC) as well as a multi-party authorization (MPA) consensus protocol, and then allowing or denying execution of the requested operations based on achieving consensus from among candidate approvers.

Abstract: A service migration technique moves (migrates) a snapshot storage service of an archival storage system from a primary site to a secondary site in accordance with a planned failover event. The snapshot storage service is configured to provide storage and retrieval of large amounts of snapshots (e.g., recovery points) of application workloads stored as objects on one or more buckets of an object store. As part of finalization of the recovery points (RPs) at the primary site, the snapshot storage service stores snapshot data and metadata of the RPs (e.g., as service state) in the object store. The snapshot storage service may then be migrated to the secondary site, wherein migration involves terminating the service at the primary site and instantiating the service at the secondary site. The instantiated storage service instance may then rebuild its service state from the object store, and resume storage and retrieval operations directed to RPs serviced by the instance.
