SYSTEM AND METHOD TO ENABLE A SNAPSHOT-BASED BACKUP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248808 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD TO ENABLE A SNAPSHOT-BASED BACKUP

The abstract describes a method for performing backups, involving sending a quiesce request to a client storage array to put it in a quiesced state, obtaining a snapshot-based backup, sending an unquiesce request, transferring the backup to a secondary storage system, and generating a protection copy.

  • Sending a quiesce request to a client storage array
  • Obtaining a snapshot-based backup while the array is quiesced
  • Sending an unquiesce request once the backup is complete
  • Transferring the backup to a secondary storage system
  • Generating a protection copy based on the backup

Potential Applications: - Data backup and recovery systems - Disaster recovery solutions - Cloud storage services

Problems Solved: - Ensuring data integrity during backups - Streamlining the backup process - Facilitating quick recovery in case of data loss

Benefits: - Enhanced data protection - Efficient backup and recovery procedures - Minimized downtime in case of data loss

Commercial Applications: Title: "Efficient Data Backup and Recovery System for Businesses" This technology can be utilized by IT companies, data centers, and businesses of all sizes to ensure the safety and integrity of their critical data. It can also be marketed to cloud service providers looking to enhance their backup and disaster recovery offerings.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve data backup processes compared to traditional methods? 2. What are the potential cost savings for businesses implementing this backup system?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in data backup and recovery technologies to ensure the most efficient and secure data protection for your business.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for performing backups. the method includes sending, via a data manager, a quiesce request to a client storage array of a client device to put the client storage array in a quiesced state. the method also includes obtaining, via a primary backup storage system, a snapshot-based backup of a storage volume of the client storage array while the client storage array is in the quiesced state. further, the method includes sending an unquiesce request to the client storage array in response to determining that the obtaining of the snapshot-based backup is complete. moreover, the method includes sending the snapshot-based backup from the primary backup storage system to a secondary backup storage system. in addition, the method includes generating, using the secondary backup storage system, a protection copy based on the snapshot-based backup.
