View page
US Patent:
6851031, Feb 1, 2005
Filed:
Aug 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/231988
Inventors:
Don Alvin Trimmer - Livermore CA, US
Roger Keith Stager - Livermore CA, US
Craig Anthony Johnston - Livermore CA, US
Yafen Peggy Chang - Fremont CA, US
Jerry Kai Lau - Livermore CA, US
Gavin David Cohen - Dublin CA, US

Assignee:
Alacritus, Inc. - Pleasanton CA
International Classification:
G06F 1216
US Classification:
711161, 711111, 711162
Abstract:
A method of importing a plurality of data from a physical data storage device into a virtual tape library system that is used with a data protection application. The virtual tape library system is usable with an existing data protection application designed for use with a physical tape library without modifying the existing data protection application. The method includes: triggering a signal representing a command to import the plurality of data from the physical data storage device; providing a controller that receives the signal; providing a data storage medium in communication with the controller, the data storage medium has at least one virtual library defined thereon; and copying at least a portion of the plurality of data from the physical data storage device to a virtual tape.

US Patent:
6862656, Mar 1, 2005
Filed:
Aug 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/232095
Inventors:
Don Alvin Trimmer - Livermore CA, US
Roger Keith Stager - Livermore CA, US
Craig Anthony Johnston - Livermore CA, US
Yafen Peggy Chang - Fremont CA, US
Jerry Kai Lau - Livermore CA, US
Gavin David Cohen - Dublin CA, US
Rico Blaser - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Alacritus, Inc. - Pleasanton CA
International Classification:
G06F012/00
US Classification:
711111, 711162
Abstract:
A system and method for exporting a virtual tape from a virtual tape library. The system preferably presents a user with a user interface styled for manipulating a physical tape library. The virtual tape library performs the data storage and retrieval functions. The system includes the user interface having a plurality of user selectable fields styled to interface with the physical tape library. A data storage medium has at least one virtual library and/or virtual tape defined thereon. The data storage medium is capable of storing a plurality of data in the at least one virtual library and/or virtual tape. A physical data storage device is detachably able to be put in communication with the at least one virtual library and/or virtual tape to receive at least a portion of the plurality of data therefrom.

System And Method For Virtual Vaulting

US Patent:
6973369, Dec 6, 2005
Filed:
Mar 12, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/387319
Inventors:
Don Alvin Trimmer - Livermore CA, US
Roger Stager - Livermore CA, US
Craig Anthony Johnston - Livermore CA, US
Rico Blaser - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Alacritus, Inc. - Pleasanton CA
International Classification:
G06F007/00
US Classification:
700214
Abstract:
The present invention is a tape library comprising both a small front-end portion and a larger back-end portion. The front-end portion is a visible virtual or physical tape library; and the back-end portion is a large invisible virtual or physical tape vault. The DPA is a typical DPA which only sees the front-end library. If desired, all messages regarding the importing and exporting of tapes are reviewed by an agent. The agent manages the automatic transfer of tapes between the front-end and the back-end, and notifies the user when a manual import or export is needed. This greatly reduces both the amount of hardware required to establish a virtual or physical tape library and also reduces the amount of labor required by a user to physically import and export tapes. If both the front-end library and, the back-end vault are virtual and reside on the same virtual tape library appliance, no data movement is necessary and the tapes can be moved merely by performing small software state changes. In this case, manual operation may be acceptable.

Assignee:
Alacritus, Inc. - Pleasanton CA
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 6, 714 13, 711162
Abstract:
A method and system for copying backup data is disclosed. Backup data may be copied to a first virtual tape library in the same format as it would be copied to a physical tape library. The backup data may also be electronically copied to a second virtual tape library or to a physical tape library.

Method And System For Storing Data Using A Continuous Data Protection System

View page
US Patent:
7315965, Jan 1, 2008
Filed:
Feb 4, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/771613
Inventors:
Roger Keith Stager - Livermore CA, US
Donald Alvin Trimmer - Livermore CA, US
Pawan Saxena - Pleasanton CA, US
Randall Johnson - Pleasant Grove UT, US
Craig Anthony Johnston - Livermore CA, US
Yafen Peggy Chang - Fremont CA, US
Rico Blaser - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Network Appliance, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 42, 714 13
Abstract:
A method and system wherein data is structured so that writes may be continuously duplicated and a protected volume may be restored to a particular point in time as desired. Writes are continuously duplicated on a secondary volume and organized into delta maps. The delta maps indicate which memory blocks were written to during a particular time frame.

Method And System For Data Recovery In A Continuous Data Protection System

View page
US Patent:
7325159, Jan 29, 2008
Filed:
Feb 4, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/772017
Inventors:
Roger Keith Stager - Livermore CA, US
Donald Alvin Trimmer - Livermore CA, US
Pawan Saxena - Pleasanton CA, US
Randall Johnson - Pleasant Grove UT, US
Craig Anthony Johnston - Livermore CA, US
Yafen Peggy Chang - Fremont CA, US
Rico Blaser - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Network Appliance, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 13, 714 2
Abstract:
In a continuous data protection system having a primary volume and a secondary volume, a method for data recovery begins by selecting a snapshot of the primary volume to be recovered and a location on which the snapshot is to be loaded. A point in time (PIT) map is created for the selected snapshot, and the selected snapshot is loaded at the selected location. A data block from the PIT map is resolved to determine which block on the secondary volume is presented as being part of the snapshot. The snapshot is accessed via a host computer as if the snapshot was the primary volume at an earlier point in time, corresponding to the time of the selected snapshot.

Assignee:
NetApp - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707204, 707 1, 707100, 707101, 707102, 707103 R, 707200, 707201, 707202, 709213
Abstract:

A primary volume may be protected according to an any-point-in-time (APIT) window wherein restores may be performed at any time as desired. The APIT window may be of any time duration as desired. Outside of the APIT window, a retention policy for phasing out data may be established as desired.

Method And System For Synchronizing Volumes In A Continuous Data Protection System

View page
US Patent:
7426617, Sep 16, 2008
Filed:
Feb 5, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/772642
Inventors:
Roger Keith Stager - Livermore CA, US
Donald Alvin Trimmer - Livermore CA, US
Pawan Saxena - Pleasanton CA, US
Randall Johnson - Pleasant Grove UT, US
Craig Anthony Johnston - Livermore CA, US
Yafen Peggy Chang - Fremont CA, US
Rico Blaser - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
Network Appliance, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
G06F 12/00
US Classification:
711162, 711161
Abstract:
A method for synchronizing a secondary volume with a primary volume in a continuous data protection system begins by scanning a region of the primary volume, which is then compared with a corresponding region of the secondary volume. An identification of the scanned region is stored in a compare delta map when the comparison results in a discrepancy between the scanned region and the corresponding region. Data is copied from the primary volume to the secondary volume, using the compare delta map as a guide to locate the data to copy. If the data protection system has failed just prior to the restore process being initiated, it is termed a re-baseline, and the entire primary volume is scanned. If the data protection system is active prior to the restore process being initiated, it is termed a re-synchronization, and is optimized by scanning only select regions of the primary volume.
