  • Publication number: 20250053331
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for transforming backups of applications. An embodiment operates by extracting a resource snapshot into memory. The resource snapshot is formatted in a first configuration. An embodiment performs a transformation on the resource snapshot, thereby transforming the resource snapshot from the first configuration to a second configuration for an environment into which the resource snapshot is being restored. The transformation is made up of a set of operations. One of the operations includes a regular expression. Once the transformation is complete, the resource snapshot is restored to the environment based on the second configuration.

  • Patent number: 12153497
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to backing up and recovering cloud-native applications. In some embodiments, the data engine maps a first set of data volumes to a data repository dedicated to store a backup of the data associated with the application. Furthermore, the data engine transmits, using a dynamically generated process, the data stored in the identified first set of data volumes to the data repository for backup based on the mapping. The data engine may also initiate a recovery of the application. The data engine may use a new dynamically generated process to identify and transmit a respective data set to a corresponding data volume for storage. Moreover, the data engine may use the new process to restore the components of the application using each respective identified data set.

  • Patent number: 11294862
    Abstract: Compounding file system metadata operations via buffering is disclosed. In various embodiments, an indication to send locally-stored file system operations to a remote file system metadata server is received. A dependency graph or other data structure reflecting dependencies between the locally-stored file system operations to identify a linear chain of dependent file system operations. Operations comprising the linear chain are combined into a compound file system operation. The compound file system operation is sent to the remote file system metadata server.

  • Patent number: 11221993
    Abstract: A method, article of manufacture, and apparatus for limited deduplication scope on a distributed file system is discussed. A write request is received from a client at the metadata server (“MDS”), where the write request comprises a data object identifier and a preferred object store identifier. The MDS determines whether a preferred object store associated with the preferred object store identifier contains a copy of a data object associated with the data object identifier. A write URL comprising the data object identifier and a object store location associated with the preferred object store is transmitted to the client when the preferred object store does not contain the copy of the data object.

  • Patent number: 11151082
    Abstract: Cancelling file system operations at a file system client of a distributed file system is disclosed. In various embodiments, an indication is received to send locally-stored file system operations to a remote file system metadata server. A dependency graph or other data structure reflecting dependencies between the locally-stored file system operations is used to identify a set of locally-stored file system operations the members of which are fully dominated by a create-delete pair of operations comprising the set. The locally-stored file system operations comprising the set are cancelled, without being sent to the remote file system metadata server.

  • Patent number: 11144504
    Abstract: Techniques to eliminate redundant file system operations are disclosed. In various embodiments, an indication is received to send locally-stored file system operations to a remote file system metadata server. A set of related locally-stored file system operations is determined. Operations in the set are determined to satisfy a merger criteria and are merged into a single merged file system operation. The merged file system operation is sent to the remote file system metadata server.

  • Patent number: 11016933
    Abstract: Techniques to manage the use of hash functions are disclosed. In various embodiments, a hash function epoch metadata is stored to associate a hash function with an epoch, the epoch defining a subset of data stored by a distributed file system. The distributed file system is configured to use the hash function epoch metadata to manage storage of data comprising the subset of data stored by the distributed file system.
