    Abstract: Techniques are provided for incrementally restoring a virtual machine hosted by a computing environment. In response to receiving an indication that the virtual machine is to be incrementally restored, a snapshot of the virtual machine may be created while the virtual machine is shut down into an off state. The snapshot is transmitted to a storage environment as a common snapshot. The snapshot and the common snapshot are common snapshots comprising a same representation of the virtual machine. The common snapshot and a prior snapshot of the virtual machine are evaluated to identify a data difference of the virtual machine between the common snapshot and the prior snapshot. An incremental restore is performed of the virtual machine by transmitting the data difference from the storage environment to the computing environment to restore the virtual machine to a state represented by the prior snapshot.

    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for profiling a dataset. For example, a snapshot of a volume may be evaluated to identify a set of data characteristics, such as file and directory size information. A baseline dataset profile of a dataset of data within the volume may be constructed based upon the set of data characteristics. Histograms and graphs of directory counts and file counts may be constructed based upon the baseline dataset profile. An incremental dataset profile may be constructed for the dataset based upon an evaluation of the snapshot and a subsequent snapshot of the volume. Histograms and graphs of directories and files that are modified, created, and/or deleted may be constructed based upon the incremental dataset profile. Performance predictions, analytics, field diagnostics of performance issues, and/or scheduling of service execution may be implemented for a storage network hosting the volume based upon dataset profiles.

    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for data recovery objective modeling. For example, a data recovery objective model may be defined for a storage network environment. The data recovery objective model may be defined based upon a client data ingest rate corresponding to a data change rate by one or more clients of data stored by a first storage controller. The data recovery objective model may be defined based upon an effective throughput of a data transfer utility for replicating modified data from first storage of the first storage controller to second storage of a second storage controller. Statistical utilization data may be collected from the storage network environment, and may be evaluated using the data recovery objective model to determine a data recovery objective metric. If the data recovery objective metric does not satisfy a client specified objective, then a computing resource recommendation may be provided.

    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and computing devices that receive data from a primary storage node. The data is stored in a primary volume within a primary composite aggregate hosted by the primary storage node. A determination is made when the data is tagged to indicate that the data is stored in the primary volume on a remote data storage device of the primary composite aggregate. The data is stored on another remote data storage device without storing the data in a local data storage device, when the determining indicates that the data is tagged to indicate that the data is stored in the primary volume on a remote data storage device of the primary composite aggregate. Accordingly, this technology allows data placement to remain consistent across primary and secondary volumes and facilitates efficient operation of secondary storage nodes by eliminating two-phase writes for data stored on cloud storage devices.
