摘要： Various embodiments are provided for facilitation of data retention using logical objects. Following an operation creating a redundant copy of the data performed on a scheduled interval, a logical object containing a number of managed file versions, represented by a number of member objects for a recovery point, is created. The logical object is assigned a policy of a data retention policy construct associated with the recovery point. The logical object is adapted for reassignment between policies of the data retention policy construct associated with various recovery points. During the reassignment, the plurality of member objects representing the plurality of managed file versions are logically retained instead of performing a data copy operation to associate the plurality of managed file versions with another recovery point.

摘要： The various embodiments of the present invention include techniques for securing the use of data deduplication activities occurring in a source-deduplicating storage management system. These techniques are intended to prevent fake data backup, target data contamination, and data spoofing attacks initiated by a source. In one embodiment, one technique includes limiting chunk querying to authorized users. Another technique provides detection of attacks and unauthorized access to keys within the target system. Additional techniques include the combination of validating the existence of data from the source by validating the data chunk, validating a data sample of the data chunk, or validating a hash value of the data chunk. A further embodiment involves the use of policies to provide authorization levels for chunk sharing and linking within the target. These techniques separately and in combination provide a comprehensive strategy to avoid unauthorized access to data within the target storage system.

摘要： One aspect of the present invention includes a configuration of a storage management system that enables the performance of deduplication activities at both the client (source) and at the server (target) locations. The location of deduplication operations can then be optimized based on system conditions or predefined policies. In one embodiment, seamless switching of deduplication activities between the client and the server is enabled by utilizing uniform deduplication process algorithms and accessing the same deduplication index (containing information on the hashed data chunks). Additionally, any data transformations on the chunks are performed subsequent to identification of the data chunks. Accordingly, with use of this storage configuration, the storage system can find and utilize matching chunks generated with either client- or server-side deduplication.

摘要： Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for restoring a restore set of files from backup objects stored in sequential backup devices. Backup objects are stored in at least one sequential backup device. A client initiates a restore request to restore a restore set of data in a volume as of a restore point-in-time. A determination is made of backup objects stored in at least one sequential backup device including the restore set of data for the restore point-in-time, wherein the determined backup objects are determined from a set of backup objects including a full volume backup and delta backups providing data in the volume at different points-in-time, and wherein extents in different backup objects providing data for blocks in the volume at different points-in-time are not stored contiguously in the sequential backup device. A determination is made of extents stored in the at least one sequential backup device for the determined backup objects. The determined extents are sorted according to an order in which they are stored in the at least one sequential backup device to generate a sort list. The extents are retrieved from the at least one sequential backup device according to the order in the sort list to access the extents sequentially from the sequential backup device in the order in which they were stored. The retrieved extents are returned to the client and the client reconstructs the restore data set from the received extents.
