RETENTION LOCK LEVERAGING IN A BACKUP COMPUTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248813 titled 'RETENTION LOCK LEVERAGING IN A BACKUP COMPUTING SYSTEM
The abstract describes a method involving a data backup server agent hosted by a backup client computing system to generate backup data files from data stored at the backup client computing system. These backup data files are then written to a temporary folder in a staging location of a backup storage server. If an attempt to move the temporary folder fails, it indicates that the backup storage server is in a retention lock mode. Each of the backup data files is then moved individually to a final folder in a final location of the backup storage server when it is determined that the attempt to move the temporary folder has failed.
- Backup server agent generates backup data files from data stored at the backup client computing system
- Backup data files are written to a temporary folder in a staging location of a backup storage server
- Determination is made if an attempt to move the temporary folder has failed
- If the attempt fails, it indicates the backup storage server is in a retention lock mode
- Backup data files are moved individually to a final folder in a final location of the backup storage server
Potential Applications: - Data backup and recovery systems - Cloud storage services - Disaster recovery solutions
Problems Solved: - Efficient backup data file transfer in case of retention lock mode - Ensuring data integrity and availability in backup storage systems
Benefits: - Improved data backup processes - Enhanced data security and reliability - Streamlined disaster recovery procedures
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Data Backup and Recovery System This technology can be utilized by IT companies, data centers, and cloud service providers to offer reliable and efficient data backup and recovery solutions to their clients. It can also be integrated into existing backup systems to enhance their performance and reliability.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve data backup processes compared to traditional methods? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in large-scale backup systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
one example method includes generating, by a data backup server agent that is hosted by a backup client computing system, backup data files from data stored at the backup client computing system. the backup data files are written to a temporary folder in a staging location of a backup storage server. a determination is made of if an attempt to move the temporary folder has failed. a failure is indicative that the backup storage server is operating in a retention lock mode. each of the plurality of backup data files are moved individually from the temporary folder to a final folder in a final location of the backup storage server when it is determined that the attempt to move the temporary folder has failed.
