Intelligent restore-container service offering for backup validation testing and business resiliency
Patent number: 10678656Abstract: A method and system for creating a new restore container. A count that is determined for each unique infrastructure container of existing unique infrastructure containers is a number of instances in which a particular container type that is unique for each unique infrastructure container has been utilized. In response to both determining that the count for one unique infrastructure container is equal to or greater than a specified threshold and determining that a popular infrastructure container does not exist within a central repository that stores the existing unique infrastructure containers, the new restore container is created within the central repository by determining a most similar container of the existing restore containers whose software stack content matches, in part, software content in a first software stack of the popular infrastructure container more closely than does software content in the software stack of any other existing restore container.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kavita Chavda, Nagapramod S. Mandagere, Steven Pantridge, Ramani R. Routray -
Patent number: 10606707Abstract: A method and associated systems for backing up a target computer application that comprises identifying and backing up databases and other information repositories upon which the target application depends. The target application is identified and related to a backup requirement that specifies a minimum application-backup frequency. The application's “dependencies” are automatically identified from sources that include configuration files, where each dependency identifies one or more databases or other information repositories that store information upon which the application directly or indirectly depends. If any of these databases or repositories is associated with a backup frequency less than the application's minimum backup frequency, the database or repository is flagged. Each flagged entity's backup schedule is then revised so that the flagged entity's backup frequency is equal to or greater than the application's minimum backup frequency.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Billy S. Brewer, Patrick B. Heywood, Bernhard J. Klingenberg, Nagapramod S. Mandagere, Steven Pantridge, Ramani R. Routray

Intelligent restore-container service offering for backup validation testing and business resiliency
Patent number: 9858157Abstract: An existing data protection environment is analyzed to determine a plurality existing infrastructure containers. A popular infrastructure container is identified from the plurality of existing infrastructure containers. Responsive to determining that the popular infrastructure container does not exist within a central repository, the restore container is created within the central repository to match the popular infrastructure container.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kavita Chavda, Nagapramod S.

Patent number: 9836710Abstract: A solution for validating a set of data protection solutions is provided. A validation scenario can be defined, which can include data corresponding to a set of attributes for the validation scenario. The attributes can include a time frame for the validation scenario. The validation scenario also can include a set of backup images to be validated, each of which is generated using one of the set of data protection solutions. The set of backup images can be identified using the time frame. A set of resource requirements for implementing the validation scenario can be determined based on the set of backup images and the set of attributes for the validation scenario.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kavita Chavda, Nagapramod S.
