Abstract:
The disclosed computer-implemented method for performing a database backup for repairless restore may include (1) receiving replica data records representing copies of a database from each of a group of data storage nodes in a production cluster, (2) processing the replica data records in parallel without inter-node communication between the data storage nodes, (3) merging updates to the replica data records, (4) identifying stale or redundant data records in the updated replica data records, (5) discarding the stale or redundant data records from the updated replica data records to create a single copy of updated data records, and (6) restoring the copy of the updated data records to the production cluster by replicating the updated data records to the data storage nodes such that each of the updated data records is consistent thereby obviating subsequent repair. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
