Information management system for transferring metadata of backup jobs
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240036985A1) describes an information management system involving two computing devices, each with hardware processors. The first computing device manages a first management database containing backup data and information related to backup operations. When a specific criterion is met, the second computing device, equipped with a second management database, triggers the transfer of relevant information from the first device. This information is then stored in the second management database. The first device, upon receiving a request to restore backup data, checks if the necessary information has been transferred to the second device and redirects the request accordingly. The second device is responsible for managing the restore operation to restore the backup data to a primary storage device.
Furthermore, the system allows the first computing device to identify secondary storage media containing backup data associated with transferred information and designate them as read-only media. It also enables the creation of an overwrite protection pool comprising these secondary storage media. Additionally, the system supports the restoration of distinct backup data upon request and allows client computing devices to register as restore-only clients of the second computing device. This registration ensures that the second device does not manage backup operations for these clients. The system's functionality is based on specific criteria such as database size, number of records, and backup operation dates, ensuring efficient and secure information management and restoration processes.
