METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING DATA DURING DATA MIGRATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17725690 Titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING DATA DURING DATA MIGRATION'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for managing data backup. It involves identifying a specific type of asset source and creating a data transfer path for multiple snapshots associated with that asset source. The backup process is then initiated for user data, which is transferred to a target client device. The snapshots are obtained by a data protection system using the data transfer path, while the user data is backed up on the target client device. Once the snapshots are successfully stored in the data protection system, they are deleted from the source client device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for managing data backup includes: making a determination that an asset source is a first type of asset source, in which a source client device comprises the asset source; generating, based on the determination, a data transfer path for a plurality of snapshots associated with the asset source between the source client device and a data protection system; initiating a backup for user data associated with the asset source to a target client device; obtaining the plurality of snapshots to the data protection system using the data transfer path, in which the user data is backed up in the target client device while at least a portion of the plurality of snapshots is obtained by the data protection system; and deleting the plurality of snapshots from the source client device, upon receipt of confirmation that the plurality of snapshots is successfully stored in the data protection system.
