Patent number: 7567974Abstract: A method for protecting protectable objects located at a production location is provided. A Namespace, representative of a plurality of protectable objects, is provided to a user for selection. A selection of at least a portion of the Namespace is received and that selected portion is mapped to at least one protectable object. A plan for protecting the mapped protectable object is created, and using that plan the protectable object is protected.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2004Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian M Wahlert, Mike Jazayeri, Catharine van Ingen, Brian T Berkowitz, Nikhil Vijay Chandhok, Dharshan Rangegowda, Seetharaman Harikrishnan, Vinay Badami, Yezdi Z Lashkari, Robert M Fries

Publication number: 20070220320Abstract: A backup system in accordance with an implementation of the present invention includes one or more light-weight (i.e., stateless) storage nodes that are positioned close enough to one or more assigned production servers to enable as rapid and efficient a data recovery as possible. The one or more light-weight storage nodes are driven by, and implement backup policies in accordance with, control settings determined by and received from a centralized backup server. Changes to the control settings are simply produced at the centralized backup server and propagated to each storage node in the system. In addition to efficient backup times, general backup administration can be greatly simplified at least in part since a large number of production serves can be serviced through a small or large number of light-weight storage nodes, which in turn can be managed by a single centralized backup server.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2006Publication date: September 20, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Vijay Sen, Karandeep Anand, Vinay Badami, Sunil Pai, Charumathy Srinivasan, Abid Ali

Publication number: 20070192386Abstract: A backup administrator can backup files from a production server on any of a plurality of different bases. In particular, some files can be replicated on a changed-byte basis. In other cases, files can be backed up by replicating updated copies of the entire file, or even byte blocks of the file. Determinations as to how a replication agent will back up a certain file or set of files can be made by a backup administrator, automatically through a predefined logic, or dynamically based on defined criteria. Corresponding agents at the production server can then flag these files as indicated. Thus, at a later point, when the DPM server requests the updates of each file, the production server can either send over copies of the changed file bytes, entire copies of the changed file itself, or even changed blocks of a file, as appropriate.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2006Publication date: August 16, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robert Fries, Vinay Badami, Michael Michael, Shiraz Somji

Publication number: 20060053182Abstract: A method for verifying data copies generated by a data protection system is provided. In accordance with the method, intents for selecting a data copy to be verified are determined. The intents may specify a time period after which data is to be verified and an interval for which the verification is to be repeated. Additionally, utilizing the intents, a data copy matching those intents is identified and verified. A data copy may be verified by comparing a checksum of the data copy with a known checksum value. If the data copy fails to be verified, a copy of the data copy is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2005Publication date: March 9, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Vijay Sen, Amit Singla, Arasu Jeyaprakash, Brian Berkowitz, Catharine van Ingen, Karandeep Anand, Sunil Pai, Sushil Baid, Vinay Badami, Nikhil Chandhok
