METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING INCREMENTAL APPROXIMATION BACKUPS OF LIMITED ACCESS CLOUD DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972357 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING INCREMENTAL APPROXIMATION BACKUPS OF LIMITED ACCESS CLOUD DATA
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the abstract is related to performing data protection services for limited access cloud data. The method involves identifying a protection policy event associated with an incremental backup of an object, obtaining previous object metadata, obtaining object data from on-premises cloud resources, generating slices of the object data, generating current checksums and current object metadata for each slice, and storing slices in a backup storage based on checksum comparisons.
- Identification of protection policy events for incremental backups
- Obtaining previous object metadata

The abstract does not mention the specific encryption techniques employed to secure the backup data.
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 protection policy event associated with an incremental approximation backup of an object; in response to identifying the protection policy event: obtaining previous object metadata associated with the object; obtaining object data from on-premises cloud resources associated with the object; generating slices of the object data; generating current checksums and current object metadata associated with each slice; selecting a first slice of the slices; making a first determination that a first current checksum of the current checksums and a first previous checksum associated with the first slice do not match; in response to the first determination: storing the first slice in a backup storage; and updating a first portion of the current object metadata associated with the first slice.
