Incremental snapshots for application consistent recovery points
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12013763B2) outlines a method for data storage and restoration in a storage system. The method involves storing a reference snapshot of data, generating reference restoration points based on the snapshot, receiving data changes through a write filter, logging these changes, and creating restoration points based on specific markers in the log. These restoration points correspond to application-consistent recovery points, ensuring data integrity during the restoration process.
Furthermore, the patent details the use of a write filter to intercept data changes, the insertion of snapshot markers in the data stream, and the generation of restoration points based on a backup policy. The method also includes provisions for restoring the storage device to a specific moment in time, cloning data structures for modifications, and providing data associated with the restored structure. The patent also covers the storage medium storing instructions for executing the method and a storage system with a processor and memory for implementing the data storage and restoration process efficiently.
