Abstract: According to certain aspects, a system may include a computing device configured to: intercept a request from a database application to read a portion of a database file, where a secondary copy of the database file resides on a secondary storage device(s) and is organized as a plurality of first blocks, wherein the request includes a database file offset(s) corresponding to the requested portion; and map the database file offset(s) to a subset of the first blocks that correspond to requested database object(s). The system may include a secondary storage controller computer(s) configured to: access a table that maps the plurality of first blocks to storage locations on the secondary storage device(s); using the table, locate and retrieve the subset of the first blocks on the secondary storage device(s); and forward the retrieved first blocks for storage in a primary storage device(s).

Abstract: A streamlined approach enables customers to retain management control over their data in a database-as-a-service (“DBaaS”) setting, by providing managed backup copies outside cloud service providers' sphere of control. An illustrative data storage management system provides control over performing backup operations to generate managed backup copies, storing managed backup copies, recovering managed backup copies in whole or in part, migrating managed backup copies, and migrating DBaaS instances. Management control also extends to choices of where to store the managed backup copies, whether on the same cloud computing platform as the source DBaaS, on a different cloud computing platform, and/or in a non-cloud data center.

Abstract: An illustrative “Live Synchronization” feature creates and maintains a ready standby “synchronized application” that is available to take over as a failover solution for a “primary” application that operates in a production environment, but will do so on a different computing platform (e.g., physical server, virtual machine, container, etc.), and possibly on a differed kind of computing platform than, the primary. The illustrative system has specialized features and components for discovering and singling out each primary application and identifying and locating its disk image, e.g., VMDK file. The application is Live Synched to the standby/failover application without reference to whether and how other co-resident applications might be treated. The standby/failover destination supporting the synchronized application may be located anywhere, whether in the same data center as the primary or geographically remote or in a private or public cloud setting.

Abstract: The data storage system according to certain aspects can implement table level database restore. Table level database restore may refer to restoring a database table and its related data without restoring the entire database. The data storage system may use table metadata index to implement table level restore. A table metadata index may be created for each table, e.g., during a backup of the database. The table metadata index for a table can include any type of information for restoring the table and its related data. Some examples of the type of information included in the table metadata index include the following: container for the table, table backup location, system data, table index, table relationships, etc. Table metadata index can make the restoring of tables fast and efficient by packaging information that can be used to restore a table and its related data in an easily accessible manner.

Abstract: According to certain aspects, a system may include a first computing device configured to: in response to a request to access at least one first database object of a plurality of database objects represented by a database file generated by a first database application, the database file including a plurality of data blocks, identify a subset of the plurality of data blocks corresponding to the first database object; a secondary storage controller computer(s) configured to: access a stored table providing a mapping between the secondary copies of the plurality of data blocks and corresponding locations of the secondary copies in a secondary storage device(s); retrieve and forward the subset of data blocks from the secondary storage device(s); and a second computing device configured to: receive the requested data blocks retrieved from the secondary storage device(s); and convert the received data blocks to a format usable by a second database application.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for speedily upgrading (e.g., via service packs) components of a storage management system, such as media agents and data agents, which may number in the thousands. The disclosed methods and systems provide a lightweight and flexible approach. Executable files such as service packs are deployed to a network-shared file system and are served on demand to each targeted host computing device to launch a data agent and/or media agent component. New service packs (e.g., upgrades) are installed on another shared drive and the connection thereto is refreshed by each targeted storage management component to begin executing the new version on demand. The resultant overall upgrade process across the storage management system may be substantially shortened, and the network burden greatly reduced.

Abstract: A method and system for utilizing snapshots to provide copies of a database or other application or large data structure to computing devices receives a request for access to a copy of a database, and performs a snapshot of a storage volume containing the requested database. The system then clones the snapshot and mounts the snapshot to a computing device, thus enabling the computing device to access a copy of the database. In some examples, the system automatically updates copies of a database on a scheduled basis (e.g., daily or weekly basis) to refresh a database regularly.

Abstract: A data storage system according to certain aspects can share a single snapshot for multiple applications and/or agents. For example, the data storage system can receive snapshot commands from multiple applications and/or agents, and can group them for a single snapshot (e.g., based on time of receipt of the snapshot commands). Data associated with the multiple applications and/or agents may reside on a single LUN or volume. The data storage system can take a single snapshot of the LUN or volume, and generate metadata regarding which portion of the snapshot is related to which application. The single snapshot can be stored in one or more secondary storage devices. The single snapshot may be partitioned into portions relating to different applications and stored separately.
