    Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing data requests associated with objects of an object store. A data connector component may be instantiated as a container for processing data requests associated with backup data stored within objects of an object store. The data connector component may evaluate the object store to identify snapshots stored as the backup data within the objects of the object store according to an object format. The data connector component may provide a client device with access to backup data of the snapshots.

    Abstract: An enterprise may use file level and block level storage for operational access to reap the performance benefits, and use object storage for back-up storage and scale out. Data of objects and objects themselves can be organized to allow for efficient storage management operations, including storage snapshot operations and deduplication operations. A root file container can be represented in object storage with a metadata object (“file container object”) and child file container can be represented in object storage with a metadata object (“file group object”). Each file can be represented in object storage with a metadata object that indicates the data units of the file depending upon the storage technology hosting the file (e.g., a file data block in file level storage). The data units of the file can be represented in object storage as elements of a data object.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for incremental backup to an object store. A request may be received from an application to perform a backup from a volume hosted by a node to a backup target within the object store. A set of changed files within the volume since a prior backup of the volume was performed to the backup target is identified, along with metadata associated with the set of changed files. The metadata is utilized to identify changed data blocks comprising data of the set of changed files that was modified since the prior backup. The changed data blocks are backed up to the object store.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for storing immutable snapshot copes in write once read many (WORM) storage. A snapshot of a volume may be stored into one or more objects formatted according to an object format. An expiry time may be assigned to the snapshot and the one or more objects based upon a creation time of the snapshot and a retention time. The one or more objects may be stored within a remote object store. The one or more objects are retained in an immutable state and cannot be deleted until expiration of the expiry time. In response to identifying an existing object within the remote object store comprising shared snapshot data referenced by the snapshot, an assigned expiry time of the existing object may be modified based upon the expiry time of the snapshot to create a modified expiry time for the existing object.
