Abstract:
Storing documents in an object store in the cloud by creating a container for the documents, defining a document record including unique document ID and an index. A backup record for every backup includes a timestamp for each backup, and a bitmask for each document in the container has a single bit position for each document to indicate the corresponding document as unchanged or that it has been changed/deleted. Each bit location in the bitmask is referenced by the index in the document record. Large documents have a multi-part record identifying the containers. During point-in-time recovery, containers that match a given timestamp are found, and documents where the bitmask bit is set are restored.
