METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR METADATA BASED APPLICATION ITEM LEVEL DATA PROTECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248805 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR METADATA BASED APPLICATION ITEM LEVEL DATA PROTECTION
The method described in the patent application is for performing data protection of file system data on a host. It involves identifying a backup access event associated with a backup of a file system, obtaining backup metadata, generating a placeholder file system, and performing backup access services to transfer file system data to an application.
- Identification of backup access events
- Obtaining backup metadata from a data protection manager
- Generating a placeholder file system using the backup metadata
- Storing the placeholder file in a virtual hard disk file
- Performing backup access services using the placeholder file and backup metadata
Potential Applications: - Data protection and backup solutions for file systems - Enhancing data security and recovery processes - Streamlining backup access events and services
Problems Solved: - Simplifying data protection and backup procedures - Improving efficiency in transferring file system data - Enhancing data security measures
Benefits: - Faster and more efficient backup processes - Enhanced data protection and security measures - Streamlined data recovery procedures
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Data Protection and Backup Solutions for File Systems" This technology can be applied in industries such as IT, data management, and cybersecurity to enhance data protection and backup processes. It can also be used by businesses of all sizes to improve their data security measures and streamline backup procedures.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve data protection for file systems? 2. What are the key advantages of using placeholder file systems in backup processes?
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques described herein relate to a method for performing data protection of file system data on a host. the method includes identifying, by a data protection agent, a backup access event associated with a backup of a file system stored on a backup storage; in response to identifying the backup access event: obtaining backup metadata associated with the backup from a data protection manager; generating a placeholder file system using the backup metadata and storing the placeholder file in a virtual hard disk file; and performing backup access services using the placeholder file and the backup metadata to facilitate transfer of file system data of the backup to an application associated with the backup.
