INTELLIGENT PROTECTION OF COMPUTING SNAPSHOTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972371 titled 'INTELLIGENT PROTECTION OF COMPUTING SNAPSHOTS

The abstract of the patent application describes a data management system (DMS) that supports intelligent snapshot protection techniques. The DMS backs up a computing system and stores snapshots of the system. It identifies deletion events associated with the snapshots, determines if they are anomalous, and retains the snapshots beyond the initial deletion time if necessary.

  • The DMS backs up a computing system and stores snapshots.
  • It identifies deletion events related to the snapshots.
  • The system determines if the deletion events are anomalous.
  • If deemed anomalous, the DMS retains the snapshots beyond the initial deletion time.
  • Parameters associated with the deletion event are used to determine anomaly.

Potential Applications: - Data backup and protection in computing systems. - Preventing accidental or unauthorized deletion of critical snapshots. - Ensuring data integrity and security in storage systems.

Problems Solved: - Loss of important data due to accidental deletion. - Ensuring the availability of historical snapshots for recovery purposes. - Enhancing data protection and security measures in computing systems.

Benefits: - Improved data management and protection. - Enhanced data recovery capabilities. - Increased security and integrity of stored snapshots.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Data Protection System for Computing Environments" This technology can be applied in industries such as IT, finance, healthcare, and any other sector that relies on secure data storage and backup solutions. It can be marketed to companies looking to enhance their data protection measures and ensure the availability of critical information.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the DMS determine if a deletion event is anomalous? - The DMS analyzes parameters associated with the deletion event to identify anomalies. 2. What are the potential implications of retaining snapshots beyond the initial deletion time? - Retaining snapshots can ensure data availability for recovery and prevent data loss in critical situations.


Original Abstract Submitted

A data management system (DMS) may support intelligent snapshot protection techniques. For example, the DMS may backup a computing system and facilitate that capture and storage of snapshots of the computing system. The DMS may identify a deletion event associated with one or more of the snapshots, the deletion event being associated with the one or more snapshots being deleted at a first time. The DMS may determine that deletion event is anomalous and retain the one or more snapshots beyond the first time. For example, the DMS may determine that one or more parameters associated with the deletion event are indicative of the deletion event being anomalous. In response, the DMS may retain the one or more snapshots for a retention period beyond the first time.
