BACKUP MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND BACKUP DESTINATION MIGRATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18454431 titled 'BACKUP MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND BACKUP DESTINATION MIGRATION METHOD
The patent application describes a data storage system that aims to reduce the cost required to change system configurations, minimize the burden on administrators, effectively utilize backup device capacity, and optimize backup processing.
- Predicted resource consumption is calculated when backup requirements cannot be met, and a low-impact score is assigned for migrating data to other backup destinations.
- Based on the score, a backup destination is determined for the task, and the backup schedule table is updated accordingly.
- This system aims to streamline backup processes, reduce costs, and improve resource utilization in data storage environments.
Potential Applications: - Data centers - Cloud storage providers - Enterprise backup solutions
Problems Solved: - High costs associated with changing system configurations - Inefficient use of backup device capacity - Complex backup processing workflows
Benefits: - Cost reduction in system configuration changes - Improved resource utilization - Streamlined backup processes
Commercial Applications: Optimizing backup processes in data centers can lead to cost savings and improved efficiency, making this technology valuable for companies that rely on data storage and backup solutions.
Prior Art: Researchers and industry experts in data storage and backup solutions may have explored similar technologies or methodologies to optimize backup processes and resource utilization.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about the latest advancements in data storage technologies, backup solutions, and resource optimization strategies to enhance the efficiency of data management systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system compare to existing backup optimization solutions? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different data storage environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
A data storage system where the cost required to change a configuration of a system and the burden on an administrator are reduced, the capacity of a backup device is effectively utilized, and the backup processing is optimized. When conditions related to a capacity resource specified in a backup requirement table cannot be satisfied, predicted resource consumption when the data of a backup target in a task is backed up to other destinations is calculated using an existing backup information table, a score representing a low impact on the resource when migrating to the other backup destinations is calculated on the basis of the predicted resource consumption, a backup destination as a migration destination of the backup related to the task is determined on the basis of the score, and a backup schedule table is updated such that the determined backup destination becomes the backup destination related to the task.
