Abstract: A system and method for efficiently restoring one or more data containers is provided. A common persistent consistency point image (PCPI) is identified between a source and a destination storage systems prior to the destination storage system performing a rollback operation to the commonly identified PCPI. Differential data is then transmitted from the source storage system in a line efficient manner to the destination storage system.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or devices are provided for dynamic resource allocation based upon network flow control. For example, a first counter, corresponding to a count of communication availability signals provided by a network interface to a storage process, may be maintained. A second counter, corresponding to a count of communication unavailability signals provided by the network interface to the storage process, may be maintained. Responsive to the first counter exceeding a resource allocation threshold, additional resources may be dynamically allocated to the storage process during operation of the storage process. Responsive to the second counter exceeding a resource deallocation threshold, resources may be dynamically deallocated from the storage process during operation of the storage process. In this way, resources allocation for the storage process may be dynamically adjusted based upon real-time network flow control information indicative of whether the storage process is efficiently utilizing network communication channel availability.

Abstract translation: 提供一种或多种技术和/或设备用于基于网络流控制的动态资源分配。 例如，可以维持对应于由网络接口​​向存储处理提供的通信可用性信号的计数的第一计数器。 可以维持对应于由网络接口​​向存储处理提供的通信不可用信号的计数的第二计数器。 响应于超过资源分配阈值的第一计数器，可以在存储过程的操作期间将附加资源动态分配给存储过程。 响应于超过资源分配阈值的第二计数器，可以在存储过程的操作期间从存储过程动态地释放资源。 以这种方式，可以基于指示存储过程是否有效利用网络通信信道可用性的实时网络流量控制信息来动态地调整用于存储过程的资源分配。
