  • Patent number: 12664275
    Abstract: Subject matter related to data management is disclosed. A request to restore target objects of a computing system may be received, where a data management system may store multiple snapshots for the target objects and metadata for the snapshots. The snapshots may be filtered using metadata for the snapshots to obtain a set of snapshots that are available for restoring respective target objects. From among the set of snapshots, suggested snapshots that are available for restoring respective target objects may be identified. The suggested snapshots may be indicated.

  • Publication number: 20250363207
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. For example, the method may include a backup system receiving a request to recover a target computing object using a snapshot of one or more computing objects, the one or more computing objects including the target computing object, determining, by the backup system in response to the request, whether the snapshot is prohibited from restoration based on whether information associated with the snapshot is flagged for quarantine, executing, by the backup system after determining that the snapshot is not prohibited from restoration, a quarantine enforcement procedure in association with recovering the snapshot, and monitoring, by the backup system, one or more performance metrics associated with execution of the quarantine enforcement procedure.

  • Publication number: 20250356010
    Abstract: Subject matter related to data management is disclosed. Snapshots of a target object in a computing system may be stored, where the snapshots may correspond to multiple versions of the target object. A first indication that information in a snapshot of the snapshots is flagged for quarantine may be obtained. Based on receiving the first indication, a second indication that the information in the snapshot is prohibited from being restored during a restoration operation for the target operation may be generated. The second indication that the information in the snapshot is prohibited from being restored may be stored.

  • Publication number: 20250356014
    Abstract: Subject matter related to data management is disclosed. Snapshots of a target object in a computing system may be stored, where the snapshot may correspond to multiple versions of the target object. An indication that information in one or more of the snapshots may be stored. A request to restore a snapshot of the target object may be received. In response to the request, a determination of whether the snapshot of the target object is prohibited from being restored may be made based on the indication that information in one or more of the snapshots is flagged for quarantine. A determination of whether to initiate a restoration operation in response to the request to restore the snapshot may also be made based on whether the snapshot is prohibited from being restored.

  • Publication number: 20030017251
    Abstract: This invention provides a novel coffee blend and a process for making said novel coffee. This novel coffee contains both a “faster-roast fraction” and a “slower-roast fraction”. The “faster-roast fraction” contributes no less than 20% and no more than 80% to the 100% coffee blend, preferably no less than 30% and no more than 70% to the coffee blend, and more preferably, no less than 40% and no more than 60% to the coffee blend. Similarly, the “slower-roast fraction” contributes no less than 20% and no more than 80% to the 100% coffee blend, preferably no less than 30% and no more than 70% of the coffee blend, and more preferably, no less than 40% and no more than 60% of the coffee blend. Any 100% coffee blend where the “faster-roast fraction” and the “slower-roast fraction” in combination contribute a minimum of 70% of the 100% total is covered herein.
