Abstract: Restoring a clustered database having a plurality of nodes each having database from a failed storage device by receiving a request to restore a backup image of a failed shared storage device associated with the clustered database to a time; performing a preflight check including at least one checklist process; terminating the restore when any checklist process fails; when each checklist process succeeds completing the restore by creating at least one flashcopy associated with the backup image, mapping to each of the plurality of nodes an associated portion of the at least one flashcopy, mounting the at least one flashcopy to the node as a diskgroup, and switching the clustered database to run from the diskgroup.

Abstract: Systems and methods of backing up data to a replication target such that the data is recoverable from the replication target when a source application and one or more other intermediary replication targets are unavailable. A first deduplicated data object associated with an application is received at a first intermediary copy data management system based on a first schedule. The first deduplicated data object is replicated to generate at least one of a second deduplicated data object at a second copy data management system according to a second schedule.

Abstract: Systems and methods of capturing application data locally on a source data management system and performing a high performance, bandwidth optimized replication the data from the source data management system to a remote data management system either (a) in parallel with copying data from an application to the source data management system, or (b) serially by replicating the data to the remote data management system after the data is copied to the source data management system, wherein the determination to operate in parallel or serially is based on at least one of a characteristic of the data and user specified tuning parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up clustered databases such that production backups associated with the clustered databases are restorable with near zero downtime. First data indicative of a backup request of a clustered database is transmitted by a first computing device to a second computing device. The first computing device maps the backup staging disks to each of a plurality of nodes. The second computing device adds the mapped staging disks to a backup staging diskgroup on a primary node. The second computing device mounts the backup staging diskgroup to each of the plurality of nodes. The second computing device executes a full backup from at least one of the plurality of nodes to the backup staging diskgroup. The second computing device transmits a catalog of backup information to a database associated with the first computing device. The first computing device creates a snapshot of the first backup staging disk.
