ENHANCED ROLL-BACK FROM A RETENTION LOCKED NAMESPACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256388 titled 'ENHANCED ROLL-BACK FROM A RETENTION LOCKED NAMESPACE
The abstract of this patent application describes a method for managing data backups and metadata backups during a rollback recovery process.
- The method involves providing the current namespace of a backup storage server, which includes both restored data backups and retention-locked data backups.
- Additionally, the method includes providing a recovery metadata backup of a metadata backup server during the rollback recovery process.
- A garbage collection optimization procedure is performed to eliminate the need to disable garbage collection procedures at the backup storage server and the metadata backup server.
Potential Applications: - Data backup and recovery systems - Metadata backup management - Garbage collection optimization in storage systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of data backups during rollback recovery processes - Optimization of garbage collection procedures in backup storage systems
Benefits: - Improved data backup and recovery efficiency - Enhanced metadata backup management - Streamlined garbage collection processes in storage systems
Commercial Applications: Title: "Data Backup and Recovery System with Garbage Collection Optimization" This technology can be applied in various industries such as IT, cloud storage, data centers, and disaster recovery services. It can help companies improve their data backup and recovery processes, leading to better data management and reduced downtime in case of system failures.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method optimize garbage collection procedures in backup storage systems? 2. What are the key benefits of using this method for managing data backups during rollback recovery processes?
Original Abstract Submitted
one example method includes providing, during a rollback recovery process, a current namespace of a backup storage server. the current namespace includes data backups including a first set of data backups there were restored from a point-in-time copy and a second set of data backups that are retention locked. the method also includes providing, during the rollback recovery process, a recovery metadata backup of a metadata backup server including metadata backups. the method further includes performing a garbage collection optimization procedure that removes the need to disable a garbage collection procedure at the backup storage server and the metadata backup server.
