Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for performing snapshots of a logical volume within a block-level storage devices is disclosed. When a snapshot is created, the logical volume manager determines the blocks in the relevant volume that are not allocated and lists those blocks in an exception table. Upon receiving a write request, the volume manager checks the exception table to determine whether the specific block in question is unallocated. If it is allocated, the volume manager performs a copy-on-write for the block for the snapshot. If it is unallocated, the volume manager does not copy the block. This results in significant efficiency, since copy-on-write operations will not be performed for unallocated blocks within a snapshot volume.

Abstract: A data protection and storage system includes an array of disk drives for data storage. Data is received for storage on the disk drive via an interface that is configured to emulate a tape drive interface. A virtual tape data structure is created and stored on the disk drives. The allocated capacity of the virtual tape is dynamically and transparently alterable in response to data storage demand within the virtual tape.

Abstract: A primary data storage system and a secondary data storage system are connected with a mesh of network connections during replication procedures from the primary storage system to the secondary storage system. In some implementations, at the primary storage system, file system metadata is analyzed for different subsets of the primary file system to determine changed and/or potentially changed files and/or directories for each subset. Change information is communicated from the primary storage system for a plurality of the subsets to a secondary storage system in parallel to a plurality of network addresses assigned to network ports of the secondary storage system.
