    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed an apparatus and method for receiving a recovery point objective for a workload, the recovery point objective comprising an amount of time in which information for the workload will be lost if a failure occurs, and determining a service level objective for a replication transfer based on the recovery point objective, the replication transfer to replicate information on a destination node to maintain the recovery point objective. Various embodiments include dynamically controlling one or more resources to replicate the information on the destination node based on the service level objective and communicating information for the replication transfer from the source node to the destination node.

    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that more securely facilitate data protection workflows are disclosed. With this technology, identification information for primary inbound and outbound queues is extracted from a registration token received from an administrator device. A registration request is inserted into the primary outbound queue using the identification information and one or more communication networks that are external to a data center. The primary inbound queue is polled using the identification information and the communication networks to retrieve messages from a backup service computing device that instantiated the queues and generated the registration token. Accordingly, nodes in a data center can communicate more securely with a cloud backup service via queues and without exposing any HTTP ports to the backup service. Advantageously, the backup service can learn the topology of a storage cluster and manage data protection workflows via communications with one of the constituent nodes.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed an apparatus and method to receive client traffic comprising information at a primary cluster of a clustered system over a communications link, perform, a replication operation on the clustered system to replicate the information on a secondary cluster of the clustered system, and determine a client traffic throughput for the client traffic and a replication throughput for the replication operation. In some embodiments, the apparatus and method may include buffering one or more write operations to control the client traffic such that the client traffic throughput is less than or equal to the replication throughput for the replication operation.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for incrementally restoring a virtual machine hosted by a computing environment. In response to receiving an indication that the virtual machine is to be incrementally restored, a snapshot of the virtual machine may be created while the virtual machine is shut down into an off state. The snapshot is transmitted to a storage environment as a common snapshot. The snapshot and the common snapshot are common snapshots comprising a same representation of the virtual machine. The common snapshot and a prior snapshot of the virtual machine are evaluated to identify a data difference of the virtual machine between the common snapshot and the prior snapshot. An incremental restore is performed of the virtual machine by transmitting the data difference from the storage environment to the computing environment to restore the virtual machine to a state represented by the prior snapshot.

    Abstract: Method and system for managing storage units are provided. A free space module scans a storage unit data structure and a reference data structure to generate an intermediate data structure that identifies storage units that are not referenced by any storage unit client. A lookup module is initiated and the storage unit clients are notified that all new references to any storage unit should be verified with the lookup module. The free space module then verifies if any of the storage units in the intermediate data structure have been referenced since the intermediate data structure was created. Any referenced storage units are removed from the intermediate data structure and a data structure identifying unreferenced storage units is generated. The data structure is then used to allocate the identified storage units.
