FINE GRANULARITY READ ACCESS TO GENERATIONAL SAFEGUARDED COPY DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17809362 titled 'FINE GRANULARITY READ ACCESS TO GENERATIONAL SAFEGUARDED COPY DATA

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for accessing specific copies of data without the need for restoration or compromising other copies.

  • The method allows for fine granularity read access to generational copies of safeguarded copy data.
  • It uses a generation ID to identify the exact copy that contains the relevant enterprise data.
  • The access is done without restoring the data to a recovery volume.
  • It ensures the security and integrity of other copies of the data.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries and scenarios, including:

  • Data backup and recovery systems
  • Disaster recovery planning
  • Enterprise data management
  • Cloud storage and retrieval systems

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

  • Time-consuming and resource-intensive data restoration processes
  • Risk of compromising other copies of data during access
  • Difficulty in identifying the specific copy containing relevant data

Benefits

The technology offers several benefits:

  • Efficient and quick access to specific copies of data
  • Reduced resource requirements for data recovery
  • Enhanced data security and integrity
  • Improved data management and retrieval processes


Original Abstract Submitted

Providing fine granularity read access to generational copies of safeguarded copy data. In some instances, a fine granularity read access to generational copies of safeguarded copy data includes the ability to use a generation ID to determine the exact generation copy that contains relevant enterprise related data that must be recovered and/or utilized. Additionally, the fine granularity read access is done in a manner that does not require a restore of the relevant enterprise related data to a recovery volume and that does not compromise other generation copies.
