摘要:
A data transfer arrangement transfers data from a source device, such as a local mass storage facility, to a destination device, such as a remote storage facility. The data transfer arrangement comprises a source device and a destination device. The source device transfers to the destination device a data block including data and padding along with a source check value that is a function of the data and selectively the padding, and a check indication indicating whether the check value is the function of the data alone, or the data and the padding. The destination device, after receiving the data block, source check value and check indication, generates a destination check value that is the function of the data alone, or the data and the padding, based on the check indication, and uses the source and destination check values to determine whether the data block was correctly received.

Method and apparatus for copying, transferring, backing up and restoring data are disclosed. The data can be copied, backed up or restored in segments sizes larger than the data blocks which comprise a logical object. In some embodiments, the segment can correspond to a track of a primary storage device and the data blocks to a fixed size block. In some instances, copying, storage and transfer of the segments which include multiple data blocks can result in transfer of a data block not in a logical object.

Transmitting data from a source to a destination, includes receiving the data from the source and providing the data to the destination using a network, where the data is acknowledged to the source as being successfully received at the destination prior to all of the data being provided to the network. The source may be a primary storage device. The destination may be a secondary storage device. The data may be provided from the source in a first format and may be provided to the network in a second format that is different from the first format where the first format may be RDF and the second format may be TCP/IP or UDP. The destination may receive the data in a first format different from a second format used to transmit the data over the network. The first format may be RDF and the second format may be TCP/IP or UDP.

A backup appliance that can be disposed on a computer adapter card mid-plane internal to a data storage system. The appliance includes logic on the computer adapter card. The logic is configured for selectively allowing either directly controlling the robot picker through the fiber channel connection or indirectly controlling the robot picker by communicating with the backup server. The logic is also configured for controlling buffering of data stored in the data storage system and communicating directly with media backup drives for writing the data from buffers in the data storage system onto the backup media drives.

This invention is a system and method for improving performance of a backup operation of data from a data storage system to a media library. In response to a computer system request to backup a slot or track of data, a data engine in communication with the system and a data storage system selectively reads the requested data. Such data engine reads may occur concurrent to host access for I/O operations by employing a protection scheme, e.g. a protection bit. Simultaneously, different backup sessions may read the same track of data that has been read by the data engine. The data slot or track remains in cache memory of the data storage system until all protection bits are reset. A requested slot or track may be moved to a sidefile stored in the cache memory if a host requested to write to it while protection bits are still set and then sent to the Data engine for transfer to a media library.
