Abstract:
A method and system of recovery point data view shift through a direction-agnostic roll algorithm is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes forming a data view around a recovery point, and shifting the data view around the recovery point through a direction-agnostic roll algorithm that uses at least one of a roll-forward algorithm to shift the data view to a time before the recovery point and a roll-backward algorithm to shift the data view to a time before the recovery point. A data integrity may be determined to be consistent at the recover point by examining data and meta-data associated with the recovery point. The recovery point may be associated with at least one of an automatically generated event, a user definable event, and a prepackaged event. A marker data may be generated at the recovery point to enable the direction-agnostic roll algorithm to reduce a recovery time objective when an algorithm is applied.

The method includes forming a data view around a recovery point, and shifting the data view around the recovery point through a direction-agnostic roll algorithm that uses at least one of a roll-forward algorithm to shift the data view to a time after the recovery point and a roll-backward algorithm to shift the data view to a time before the recovery point. A data integrity is determined to be consistent at the recovery point by examining data and meta-data associated with the recovery point. The recovery point is associated with one of an automatically generated event, a user definable event, and/or a prepackaged event.

Abstract:
Ensuring data persistence and consistency in enterprise storage backup systems method and apparatus are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes creating a data log structure (e.g., a log file) on a storage device (e.g., a Serial ATA drive, a SCSI drive, a SAS drive, a storage are network, etc) coupled to an application server to store a backup data generated by a filter module in a continuous backup environment and buffering the backup data generated by the filter module through a memory module that transfers the backup data to the data log structure on the storage device based on an occurrence of an event. The data log structure may be created by configuring a portion of the storage device as a dedicated resource available to the memory module to copy the backup data and the data log structure may be a file on the storage device coupled to the application server having the file system.
