CYBER RECOVERY FORENSICS KIT - LIGHTNING RESTORE OF STORAGE SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18046600 titled 'CYBER RECOVERY FORENSICS KIT - LIGHTNING RESTORE OF STORAGE SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for restoring data to a particular point in time by scanning a snapshot, identifying invalid data segments, finding valid versions of those segments, and restoring only valid data segments.

  • The method involves receiving a request to restore data to a specific point in time.
  • The snapshot corresponding to that point in time is scanned to identify any invalid data segments.
  • For each invalid data segment, the most recent valid version is identified.
  • Only valid data segments are restored based on the request, with no invalid segments being restored.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in data recovery services, disaster recovery solutions, and database management systems.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of restoring data accurately to a specific point in time without including any invalid data segments.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved data integrity, faster data restoration processes, and reduced risk of data corruption.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application of this technology could be in cloud storage services, where customers may need to restore data to a previous state without any invalid segments.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional data restoration methods that may not specifically focus on identifying and excluding invalid data segments during the restoration process.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle large volumes of data during the restoration process?

This article does not provide details on how the method scales when dealing with a large amount of data.

What are the potential limitations of this technology in terms of data types or storage systems?

The article does not address any potential limitations of this technology when it comes to specific data types or storage systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

One method includes receiving a request to restore data to a particular point in time, scanning a snapshot that corresponds to the point in time, based on the scanning, identifying any invalid data segments pointed to by the snapshot, for each of the invalid data segments, identifying a most recent, valid, version of that segment, and based on the request, restoring a set of valid data segments. In this method, no invalid segments are restored.
