Publication number: 20250053331Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: Kasten, Inc.Inventors: Aaron H.

Patent number: 12153497Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: Kasten, Inc.Inventors: Pavan Navarathna Devaraj, Vaibhav Kamra, Julio Lopez, Thomas Manville, Niraj Tolia

Patent number: 11294862Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Deepti Chheda, Diwaker Gupta, Vaibhav Kamra, Nathan Rosenblum, Niraj Tolia

Patent number: 11221993Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLCInventors: Rajiv Desai, Niraj Tolia

Patent number: 11151082Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Deepti Chheda, Diwaker Gupta, Vaibhav Kamra, Nathan Rosenblum, Niraj Tolia
