Abstract: performing changed sector backups on a volume to improve the throughput of incremental backups for block-based backups by overwriting only modified data on each changed block. latency reduction is achieved by not overwriting the changed block as a whole. the previous backup is cloned and the batch file in the clone is updated by considering the incremental block extents. the incremental data write is performed only on the changed data of each incremental block from a couple of offset values from the previous backup's clone. dynamic disk rather than differencing disk containers are used for snapshots. use of a previous backup clone eliminates the need for temporary virtual disk containers, and fixed-size segmentation at the target reduces fragmentation and eliminates the need to enforce variable-sized segmentation.

IPC Code(s): G06F21/57

CPC Code(s): G06F21/572



Abstract: a disclosed method monitors boot path driver events to identify faulty boot path drivers in a uefi-compliant boot path. upon identifying a faulty boot path driver, the faulty driver is isolated and a corresponding remediation driver is fetched. an override driver dispatch list is created by modifying an original driver dispatch list to replace the faulty driver with the remediation driver, wherein the remediation driver occupies the same place in the execution order of the override driver dispatch list as the faulty driver occupies in the original driver dispatch list. following a warm reset, a boot path load is performed in accordance with the override driver dispatch list, thereby remediating the boot path without performing a firmware update on a serial peripheral interface (spi) flash device or the like. in this manner, a faulty driver is detected, isolated, and remediated in a single boot path.

Abstract: the technology described herein is directed towards determining (e.g., a base station's) radio downlink power output based on traffic load data and temperature data. the downlink power output can be a compensation value that modifies the radio's power output by adapting to dynamic traffic load and temperature changes. using traffic load and temperature results in more accurate power compensation. in one implementation, the current (most-recent) traffic load data and temperature data are used to obtain bounding values from a table indexed by traffic load data intervals and temperature data intervals. the bounding values are interpolated to find a power compensation value. by considering the downlink traffic, good correlation is maintained between the radio internal temperature reading and the actual radio ambient temperature, resulting in a more accurate power compensation value for any combination of downlink traffic load and internal temperature reading. this results in improved serving cell coverage.
