METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING INDEXING METADATA FOR OBJECT LEVEL RESTORATION OF LIMITED ACCESS CLOUD DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972333 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING INDEXING METADATA FOR OBJECT LEVEL RESTORATION OF LIMITED ACCESS CLOUD DATA
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the abstract is a technique for performing data protection services for limited access cloud data. It involves identifying backup generation events associated with virtual machines, obtaining VM information, instantiating a VM agent, obtaining metadata files, obtaining VM data from limited access cloud data, storing the data in a backup storage, generating indexing metadata, and providing the indexing metadata to a data manager.
- Identification of backup generation events associated with virtual machines
- Obtaining VM information and instantiating a VM agent within the VM

Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques described herein relate to a method for performing data protection services for limited access cloud data. The method includes identifying, by a cloud service provider (CSP) proxy, a backup generation event associated with a virtual machine (VM); in response to identifying the backup generation event: obtaining VM information associated with the VM; instantiating a VM agent within the VM; obtaining a metadata file from the VM agent; obtaining VM data from limited access cloud data; storing the VM data and a copy of the metadata file in a backup storage to generate a backup of the VM; generating indexing metadata associated with the backup using the metadata file; and providing the indexing metadata to a data manager.
