    摘要: Views of files in an archival data storage system are generated by a backup view generator. A storage application generates and stores archival data in an archive system, the archival data corresponding to client data stored on a server or in memory associated with one or more client nodes. The storage application also generates backup files of the archival data which may be stored in a local memory. A set of metadata attributes are associated with each of the backup files. The backup views are generated by comparing metadata values in a view definition file to the sets of attributes associated with the backup files. Generated backup views can be exported for processing, including searching the backup views or displaying the backup views in a user interface.

    摘要: A priority restore agent in a data storage system generates a priority restore data set for a client computer system or device by identifying a set of active data sets and/or a set of key data sets within client system data generated by the client computer system. The priority restore agent looks at or processes file system attributes for the client system data and compares these attributes with predefined restore parameters. The restore parameters may indicate that any file that has been accessed, modified, or created within a particular period of time be included in the priority restore data set. The key data sets may be identified in a set of automated restore rules. A data protection application within the data storage system can restore data in the priority restore data set onto the client computer system after a disaster or system crash.

    摘要: This disclosure is describes a system and method for organizing and storing backup data by inode number. Data objects on a file system may be streamed to a backup client that identifies the inode numbers for each streamed data object before streaming the objects to storage. The inode numbers are parsed to create one or more inode directories that can be browsed during a recovery process. In this fashion, the file system can be quickly backed up without requiring the backup client to determine the file system's directory hierarchy.

    摘要: A backup is performed by a client at a time when a backup server is unable to process the backup. The client maintains a cache including a root tag vector and hash entries. The client begins a backup by writing the root tag vector to a journal file and breaking files into pieces. For each piece, the client performs a hash and compares the resulting hash to entries in the cache. If the hash does not match any entries, the client records a request in the journal file to add the corresponding piece of data to an archive. After completing the backup, the journal file can be sent to the server. Before processing the journal file, the server validates the root tag vector. If the root tag vector is valid, the server processes each of the requests to add data. Otherwise, the server discards the journal file.

    摘要翻译: 在备份服务器无法处理备份时,客户端执行备份。 客户端维护包括根标签向量和哈希条目的缓存。 客户端通过将根标签向量写入日志文件并将文件分解成碎片来开始备份。 对于每个部分,客户端执行散列,并将生成的散列与缓存中的条目进行比较。 如果哈希与任何条目不匹配,客户端会在日志文件中记录一个请求,以将相应的数据段添加到归档。 完成备份后,日志文件可以发送到服务器。 在处理日志文件之前,服务器验证根标签向量。 如果根标签向量有效,则服务器处理每个请求以添加数据。 否则,服务器将丢弃日志文件。
