Publication number: 20200409741Abstract: Illustrative systems and methods enable a virtual machine (“VM”) to be powered up at any hypervisor regardless of hypervisor type, based on live-mounting VM data that was originally backed up into a hypervisor-independent format by a block-level backup operation. Afterwards, the backed up VM executes anywhere anytime without needing to find a hypervisor that is the same as or compatible with the original source VM's hypervisor. The backed up VM payload data is rendered portable to any virtualized platform. Thus, a VM can be powered up at one or more test stations, data center or cloud recovery environments, and/or backup appliances, without the prior-art limitations of finding a same/compatible hypervisor for accessing and using backed up VM data. An illustrative media agent maintains cache storage that acts as a way station for data blocks retrieved from an original backup copy, and stores data blocks written by the live-mounted VM.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2020Publication date: December 31, 2020Inventors: Henry Wallace DORNEMANN, Amit MITKAR, Sanjay KUMAR, Satish Chandra KILARU, Sumedh Pramod DEGAONKAR

Publication number: 20200389356Abstract: Software, firmware, and systems are described herein that migrate functionality of a source physical computing device to a destination physical computing device. A non-production copy of data associated with a source physical computing device is created. A configuration of the source physical computing device is determined. A configuration for a destination physical computing device is determined based at least in part on the configuration of the source physical computing device. The destination physical computing device is provided access to data and metadata associated with the source physical computing device using the non-production copy of data associated with the source physical computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2020Publication date: December 10, 2020Inventors: Paramasivam Kumarasamy, Rahul S. Pawar, Amit Mitkar, Sumedh Pramod Degaonkar

Patent number: 10853406Abstract: A data storage management system incorporates image recognition and classification features. The illustrative system generates thumbnail images to represent images detected in secondary copies. Subsequent image recognition and classification operations are based on the thumbnail images without need to access the secondary copies from which the thumbnails were derived. The system indexes thumbnail images and respective relationships to each other and to the source secondary copies. Metadata from the source secondary copies is extracted and preserved with the thumbnails. Thumbnail images, metadata, and related index data (collectively “thumbnail data”) are stored locally in an illustrative content index server, or in an enhanced storage manager, thus improving performance without interfering with ongoing storage management operations. Features are disclosed for searching within the system and performing storage management operations based on image criteria. Access to/from other systems is also possible, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Amit Mitkar, Unmil Vinay Tambe, Sumedh Pramod Degaonkar, Rajesh Kumar Singh, Rahil Mohmed Husein Mansuri, Srikanth Hejamadi Tati

Patent number: 10817326Abstract: Hypervisor-independent block-level live browse is used for directly accessing backed up virtual machine (VM) data. Hypervisor-free file-level recovery (block-level pseudo-mount) from backed up VMs also is disclosed. Backed up virtual machine (“VM”) data can be browsed without needing or using a hypervisor. Individual backed up VM files can be requested and restored to anywhere without a hypervisor and without the need to restore the rest of the backed up virtual disk. Hypervisor-agnostic VM backups can be browsed and recovered without a hypervisor and from anywhere, and individual backed up VM files can be restored to anywhere, e.g., to a different VM platform, to a non-VM environment, without restoring an entire virtual disk, and without a recovery data agent at the destination.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2019Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Henry Wallace Dornemann, Rahul S. Pawar, Amit Mitkar, Sunil Kumar Gutta, Sumedh Pramod Degaonkar, Jianwei Chen
