    Abstract: A deduplicated storage system is provided according to certain embodiments that uses one or more mechanisms to update the deduplication database and remove records corresponding to data blocks that have been or will be erased from the secondary copies, without using or tracking reference counting values. Some embodiments described herein use a secondary table (for tracking archive file contents) and a bitmap to mark which primary records are present in the secondary table. In another embodiment, once the marking phase is completed, the deduplication system uses the marked-up bitmap to identify the corresponding records from the primary table that can be moved to another table for storing “zero-reference” data blocks. In other embodiments, the system will then traverse the “zero-reference” table and remove those primary data blocks from secondary storage devices.

    Abstract: A distributed, deduplicated storage system according to certain embodiments is arranged in a parallel configuration including multiple deduplication nodes. Deduplicated data is distributed across the deduplication nodes. The deduplication nodes can be networked together and communicate with one another according using a light-weight, customized communication scheme (e.g., a scheme based on FTP or HTTP). In some cases, deduplication management information including deduplication signatures and/or other metadata is stored separately from the deduplicated data in deduplication management nodes, improving performance and scalability.

    Abstract: This application relates to ransomware detection and data pruning management. Ransomware typically involves an I/O heavy process of encrypting data files and/or deleting or renaming the original files. Thus, ransomware attacks may be detected by analyzing the I/O activity in a given file system. In some embodiments, a software module running on a client machine manages copying, archiving, migrating, and/or replicating of primary data and restoring and/or pruning secondary data (e.g., backup copies of the primary data). When a potential ransomware attack is detected, the software module is immediately stopped so that the software module does not prune any data that may need to be restored. Upon receiving user input that indicates that the client machine is not under a ransomware attack, the software module is allowed to resume its operations, including pruning of the secondary data.

    EFFICIENT RECONSTRUCTION OF A DEDUPLICATION DATABASE

    Abstract: If a deduplication database becomes corrupted or is lost, the deduplication database may be reconstructed by restoring an earlier backup copy of the deduplication database. The backup copy of the deduplication database, however, may not be synced with the deduplicated data blocks that are presently stored in the secondary storage subsystem. To address the possibility of data loss and improve reconstruction timing, a deduplicated storage system is provided according to certain embodiments that uses one or more mechanisms to restore the deduplication database and resync with the secondary storage by using one or more journal files that track the data blocks that have been or may have been deleted from the secondary storage since the last deduplication database backup.
