ROLLBACK FROM A RETENTION LOCKED NAMESPACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256393 titled 'ROLLBACK FROM A RETENTION LOCKED NAMESPACE

The abstract of this patent application describes a method that involves accessing point-in-time copies with retention locked backups, determining which backups are missing from the current namespace, and copying them over without removing any existing backups.

  • Accessing point-in-time copies with retention locked backups stored on a backup storage server.
  • Accessing the current namespace with retention locked backups currently stored on the server.
  • Identifying backups present in the point-in-time copy but missing from the current namespace.
  • Copying the missing backups from the point-in-time copy to the current namespace without deleting any existing backups.

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

Problems Solved: - Efficient management of backups - Ensuring data integrity and availability - Simplifying backup restoration processes

Benefits: - Enhanced data protection - Streamlined backup operations - Improved disaster recovery capabilities

Commercial Applications: Title: "Efficient Backup Management System for Data Protection" This technology could be utilized by IT companies, cloud service providers, and businesses with large data storage needs to optimize their backup processes and ensure data security.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve data backup efficiency? 2. What are the key advantages of using retention locked backups in this system?


Original Abstract Submitted

one example method includes accessing a point-in-time copy including retention locked backups that were stored on a backup storage server at a time the point-in-time copy was generated. the method further includes accessing a current namespace including retention locked backups that are currently stored on the backup storage server. each retention locked backup includes data backup files. the method also includes determining a first set of retention locked backups that are included in the point-in-time copy, but are not included in the current namespace. the method finally includes copying the first set of retention locked backups from the point-in-time copy into the current namespace without removing any of the retention locked backups already in the current namespace.
