==ORCHESTRATION OF STORAGE SYSTEM-BASED SNAPSHOT RECOVERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211357 titled 'ORCHESTRATION OF STORAGE SYSTEM-BASED SNAPSHOT RECOVERY

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application describes an apparatus that utilizes virtualization software to manage snapshots of a storage volume, including both local and cloud-based snapshots. The apparatus can select a specific cloud snapshot to recover to the local snapshot lineage, map the cloud storage volume to a local storage volume, and transfer data using a data mover.

* The apparatus uses virtualization software to identify and manage snapshot lineages of a storage volume.
* It can select a cloud snapshot to recover to the local snapshot lineage.
* The apparatus maps the cloud storage volume to a local storage volume on the storage system.
* Data from the selected cloud snapshot is transferred to the target local storage volume using a data mover.

'''Potential Applications:'''
1. Data backup and recovery solutions.
2. Disaster recovery planning.
3. Efficient data management in hybrid cloud environments.

'''Problems Solved:'''
1. Simplifies the process of managing and recovering snapshots across different storage systems.
2. Provides a seamless way to integrate cloud storage into local storage environments.
3. Enhances data protection and disaster recovery capabilities.

'''Benefits:'''
1. Improved data resilience and availability.
2. Streamlined snapshot management process.
3. Enhanced disaster recovery capabilities.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
Title: Cloud-Based Snapshot Recovery System for Data Management
This technology can be used by cloud service providers, data centers, and enterprises with hybrid cloud environments to enhance data management, backup, and disaster recovery processes. It can improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance data protection measures.

'''Prior Art:'''
There are existing technologies in the field of data management and disaster recovery that involve snapshot management and cloud integration. Researchers and practitioners can explore prior art related to virtualization, data recovery, and cloud storage technologies.

'''Frequently Updated Research:'''
Researchers in the field of data management and cloud computing are continuously exploring ways to improve snapshot management, data recovery, and disaster resilience in hybrid cloud environments. Stay updated on the latest advancements in virtualization software and cloud storage technologies.

'''Questions about Cloud-Based Snapshot Recovery System for Data Management:'''
1. How does the apparatus select a specific cloud snapshot for recovery?
2. What are the key benefits of integrating cloud snapshots into local storage environments?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an apparatus comprises at least one processing device configured to identify, utilizing virtualization software running on a storage system, a snapshot lineage comprising snapshots of a storage volume, the snapshot lineage comprising (i) a local snapshot lineage on the storage system and (ii) a cloud snapshot lineage on cloud storage external to the storage system. the processing device is also configured to utilize the virtualization software to select a given snapshot in the cloud snapshot lineage to recover to the local snapshot lineage, to expose a cloud storage volume for the given snapshot, and to map the cloud storage volume to a target local storage volume on the storage system. the processing device is further configured to recover the given snapshot to the local snapshot lineage by utilizing a data mover of the storage system to write data of the given snapshot to the target local storage volume.
