Patent number: 10275317Abstract: Data from computing devices is backed-up regularly, storing a snapshot of the data and corresponding metadata in a data store. The backup data are stored for a relatively short period of time before being archived to long-term storage. For snapshots with files with identical data that are not archived together, archive storage space and computing resources may be conserved by not storing duplicates of the data. When the data is added to the archive storage, the archive storage location is added to backup reference entries for other files with identical data. When all files referencing an archive storage location are expired from the backup data store, an archive retention period is initiated, and an entry is added to a time-based archive expiration database indicating the storage location and an expiration time for the archived data. At the expiration time, the archived data is designated for deletion from the archive.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: DRUVA TECHNOLOGIES PTE.

Patent number: 10061658Abstract: A single system merges primary data storage, data protection, and intelligence. Intelligence is provided through in-line data analytics, and data intelligence and analytics are gathered on protected data and prior analytics, and stored in discovery points, all without impacting performance of primary storage. As data is written it is automatically mirrored for data protection as part of a High Availability (HA) process. Real-time analysis is done in-line with the HA processing, enabling a variety of data analytics. Data content can be mined from within files or blocks. The gathered intelligence is used to tag objects with extended metadata, enabling both valuable search options and rapid restore options. Data recovery begins with metadata restoration, followed by near-instantaneous access to “hot” regions of data being restored, allowing site operation to continue or resume while a restore is ongoing.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: HyTrust, Inc.Inventors: Paula Long, Misha Zelikov, Bryan Keith Panner, Dmitry Bochkov, Andrew Ferris, Eric K.
