Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for conducting incremental restore operations on block storage volumes using an object-based snapshot. A full restore from an object-based snapshot can include copying all blocks of a data set from the object-based snapshot to a destination volume. For high capacity volumes, full restores may take large amounts of time. Moreover, full restores may be inefficient where a destination volume already contains some data of the snapshot. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for incremental restore operations, where a delta data set is transferred from the snapshot to the destination volume, representing data in the snapshot is not known to already exist on the volume or another available volume.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to isolating and reinstating nodes in a distributed ledger using proof of innocence. In some embodiments, a first plug-in embedded with the blockchain network may monitor consumer-initiated transactions submitted to an enterprise organization node to determine the legitimacy of each consumer-initiated transaction. The first plug-in may identify consumer-initiated transactions associated with malicious activity and may flag the consumer node for further analysis. A second plug-in may identify and analyze the consumer-initiated transactions associated with the consumer node to determine a proof of innocence value associated with the consumer node. The first plug-in may isolate the consumer node from the distributed ledger if the proof of innocence value exceeds a proof of innocence threshold. Alternatively, the first plug-in may permit the consumer node to remain within the distributed ledger if the proof of innocence value falls below the proof of innocence threshold.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a crash-consistent clone of file(s) stored by a distributed file system are described herein. To generate the crash-consistent clone, a coordinator node may identify multiple nodes (e.g., at least a first node and a second node) of the distributed file system that are storing different portions of data of the file. The coordinator node may then send a first command to the multiple nodes to cause each of the multiple nodes to quiesce the file and clone the different portions of the data to generate the crash-consistent clone of the file. The coordinator node may then receive, from the multiple nodes, a status associated with generating the crash-consistent clone of the file. Based at least in part on the status, the coordinator node may send a second command to the multiple nodes to cause each of the multiple nodes to unquiesce the file.
