METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DATA RECOVERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18238192 titled 'METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DATA RECOVERY

Abstract: Techniques for data recovery involve determining, based on a relationship between a missing inode in an inode table and a data logical address in an extension table, whether the inode is a target inode that is able to be recovered. The techniques further involve acquiring, in response to a determination that the inode is the target inode, associated data corresponding to the target inode. The techniques further involve recovering the inode based on the acquired associated data. Accordingly, volume-level data loss can be avoided, a data loss rate of a storage product can be reduced, and user satisfaction can be enhanced.

  • Simplified Explanation:

The patent application describes techniques for data recovery by determining if a missing inode can be recovered based on its relationship with a data logical address, acquiring associated data, and recovering the inode to prevent data loss.

  • Key Features and Innovation:

- Relationship analysis between missing inodes and data logical addresses - Acquiring associated data for target inodes - Recovery of inodes based on acquired data - Prevention of volume-level data loss - Reduction of data loss rate in storage products - Enhancement of user satisfaction

  • Potential Applications:

- Data recovery in storage systems - Improving data integrity and reliability - Enhancing data recovery processes in case of failures

  • Problems Solved:

- Volume-level data loss prevention - Reduction of data loss rate - Improved user satisfaction with data recovery processes

  • Benefits:

- Enhanced data recovery capabilities - Increased reliability of storage systems - Improved user experience with data recovery

  • Commercial Applications:

Title: Enhanced Data Recovery Techniques for Storage Systems This technology can be applied in various industries such as IT, data centers, cloud storage providers, and any organization relying on data storage systems. It can improve data recovery processes, reduce data loss rates, and enhance overall data integrity.

  • Questions about Data Recovery Techniques:

1. How do these techniques help in preventing volume-level data loss? These techniques analyze the relationship between missing inodes and data logical addresses to determine if an inode can be recovered, thus preventing volume-level data loss.

2. What are the potential benefits of reducing the data loss rate in storage products? Reducing the data loss rate can lead to increased data integrity, improved reliability of storage systems, and enhanced user satisfaction with data recovery processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for data recovery involve determining, based on a relationship between a missing inode in an inode table and a data logical address in an extension table, whether the inode is a target inode that is able to be recovered. The techniques further involve acquiring, in response to a determination that the inode is the target inode, associated data corresponding to the target inode. The techniques further involve recovering the inode based on the acquired associated data. Accordingly, volume-level data loss can be avoided, a data loss rate of a storage product can be reduced, and user satisfaction can be enhanced.
