SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING DATABASES IN A HYPERCONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045834 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING DATABASES IN A HYPERCONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system and method for managing the protection and cloning of databases in a virtual computing system. The system associates a protection schedule with each source database, specifying the frequency of capturing snapshots and transactional logs. It captures snapshots and transactional logs based on the defined frequencies. When a request is received to create a cloned database at a specific point in time, the system retrieves the corresponding snapshots and transactional logs and combines the data to create the cloned database.

  • The system manages the protection and cloning of databases in a virtual computing system.
  • It associates a protection schedule with each source database, defining the frequency of capturing snapshots and transactional logs.
  • Snapshots and transactional logs are captured based on the defined frequencies.
  • When a request is received to create a cloned database at a specific point in time, the system retrieves the relevant snapshots and transactional logs.
  • The system combines the data from the transactional logs and remaining storage locations identified in the snapshots to create the cloned database.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Database management in virtual computing systems.
  • Data protection and cloning for source databases.
  • Creating cloned databases at specific points in time.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient management of database protection and cloning.
  • Ensuring data integrity and availability.
  • Simplifying the process of creating cloned databases.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved data protection and recovery capabilities.
  • Reduced downtime during database cloning.
  • Enhanced data management and organization in virtual computing systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system and method include associating, by a database system of a virtual computing system, a protection schedule with each source database provisioned in the database system, the protection schedule defining a frequency of capturing snapshots and a frequency of capturing transactional logs, capturing, by the database system for each of the source databases, snapshots and transactional logs based upon the frequency of capturing snapshots and the frequency of capturing transactional logs, respectively, and receiving, by the database system, a request identifying a point in time for creating a cloned database from a first source database. the system and method also include retrieving, by the database system, the snapshots and the transactional logs corresponding to the point in time and creating, by the database system, the cloned database by combining data in storage locations identified in the transactional logs and the data in remaining storage locations identified in the snapshots.
