Abstract: Methods and systems for storage services is provided. One method includes configuring by a processor, a database availability group (DAG) storing an active database copy at a first computing node and a passive database copy of the active database copy at a second computing node; initiating a backup operation for backing up the passive database copy from the second computing node; and interfacing with the first computing node by the second computing node for completing the backup operation. The first computing node identifies logs for the backup operation, backs up the identified logs and provides metadata associated with the backup of the identified logs to the second computing node. The second computing node updates metadata for the backup operation such that a backup copy of the passive database copy points to the second node with metadata received from the first computing node.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a distributed database cluster storing a plurality of replicas of a databases are provided. One method includes locating by a processor, a timestamp of a last stored record in a backup copy of the database from a plurality of logical partitions for a point in time restore operation; identifying by the processor, an operation log for each logical partition with the last stored record, the operation log providing transaction details associated with the database; splitting by the processor, the operation log for each logical partition by ignoring transactions that occurred prior to the timestamp of the last stored record; and using by the processor, the split operation log for restoring the database to the point in time.
