  • Patent number: 11416344
    Abstract: Described herein is a system that restores a database by processing a portion of the database. The system restores the database to a previous state at a particular time by reverting data entries that have changed since the time to their initial values before the change. Data entries that have changed after the restore time are identified. For the data entries that have changed after the restore time, their initial values before the change are determined from various sources. The system determines a database version that is created most recently before the restore time. The system additionally identifies changes to the database between the restore time and when the database version is created. The initial values can be determined from either the database version or the changes made to the database between the restore time and when the database version is created.

  • Patent number: 11016952
    Abstract: Systems and methods to process a topology change in a clustered database are described. The system communicates a query to a source storage platform enquiring of a topology change in a clustered database stored on the source storage platform. The system receives a message, at a control computer responsive to communicating the query. The message includes node identifiers identifying nodes including a first node identifier identifying a first node included in the clustered database. The system automatically identifies an addition of the first node to the clustered database on the source storage platform. The system initializes the first node on the source storage platform by communicating a first node agent to the first node. The first node agent is configured to execute on the first node to extract the data image at the source storage platform and stream the data image to the secondary storage platform.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for shard consistency in a clustered database are described. The system identifies an addition of a first shard to a clustered database on a source storage platform. The clustered database includes at least two shards and the first shard includes a first node. The system communicates a first node agent to the first node. The node agent being is configured to execute on the first node to extract a data image and an operation log at the source storage platform and stream the data image and the operation log to the secondary storage platform. The system versions a first version of the clustered database. The versioning includes storing the data image and operation log for the first node at the second storage platform.
