US Classification:

707640, 711162

Abstract:

A system and method for backing up data from a client computer system are described. The system may include the client computer system, a primary backup server computer system, and an alternate backup server computer system. The primary backup server computer system may be privately accessible to the client computer system via a virtual private network (VPN). The alternate backup server computer system may be accessible to the client computer system via a public or open network such as the Internet. The client computer system may be configured to backup a first set of data to the alternate backup server computer system at a particular time via the Internet in response to determining that the client computer system is not connected to the VPN at the particular time.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707654

Abstract:

Various embodiments of a computer system and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer system includes a backup application coupled to interconnected storage resources. The backup application creates a database of storage resources, wherein each database entry corresponds to one or more storage resources and is associated with one or more user-defined attributes describing the suitability of the associated resources for a backup operation. The backup application creates and stores a configuration of storage resources for a backup operation. Each storage resource is selected based on a value of an associated attribute. The storage resources may include logical unit numbers (LUNs), mount points providing access to LUNs, and hosts having physical access or network access through other hosts to mount points. An attribute specifies that the associated storage resources are either required or preferred for a backup operation. The database and configuration are created at backup application run time.

US Classification:

709226

Abstract:

Techniques for network bandwidth management are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for network bandwidth management comprising determining, using at least one computer processor, a throughput measurement for a first network client of a plurality of network clients, determining if throughput for the first network client is adequate for a first task based at least on the throughput measurement, in the event throughput is not adequate, negotiating for a different amount of network bandwidth, wherein the negotiation comprises sending a first task priority for the first network client and the throughput measurement to at least one second network client of the plurality of network clients, and receiving an allocation of network bandwidth based on a comparison of the first task priority with at least one second task priority for the at least one second network client.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Thomas G. Clifford - Edina MN, US
Jeremy D. Swift - Plymouth MN, US

International Classification:

H04L 9/00

US Classification:

713150

Abstract:

A system and method for efficient transfer of encrypted data over a low-bandwidth network. A backup server and a client computer are coupled to one another via a first network. The backup server is coupled to a remote data storage via another network, such as the Internet, also referred to as a cloud. The backup server encrypts received data for backup from the client computer. Cryptography segment and sub-segment sizes may be chosen that are aligned on a byte boundary with one another and with selected backup segment and sub-segment sizes used by backup software on the remote data storage. A selected cryptography algorithm has a property of allowing a given protected sub-segment with the cryptography sub-segment size to be decrypted by initially decrypting an immediate prior protected sub-segment that has the same cryptography sub-segment size. Therefore, the size of data transmitted via the cloud may be smaller than the cryptography segment size.

International Classification:

G06F 15/167

US Classification:

709212

Abstract:

A method of data replication from a first data storage device to a second data storage device. According to the method, prior to replicating data from the first data storage device to the second data storage device, metadata relating to data to be replicated may be transmitted to the second data storage device, the metadata including information about the data to be replicated and a path identifier identifying a path through which the second data storage device can remotely access the data at the first data storage device until the data to be replicated is copied to the second data storage device.
