    Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium for hybrid kernel-mode and user-mode checkpointing of multi-process applications. The computer readable medium includes computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system. A multi-process application runs on primary hosts and is checkpointed by a checkpointer comprised of a kernel-mode checkpointer module and one or more user-space interceptors providing barrier synchronization, checkpointing thread, resource flushing, and an application virtualization space. Checkpoints may be written to storage and the application restored from said stored checkpoint at a later time. Checkpointing is transparent to the application and requires no modification to the application, operating system, networking stack or libraries. In an alternate embodiment the kernel-mode checkpointer is built into the kernel.

    Abstract: Techniques involve: acquiring a first source snapshot for a source storage object stored in a source storage device; determining first difference data between the first source snapshot and the source storage object or a second source snapshot for the source storage object, creation time of the first source snapshot being associated with creation time of the second source snapshot; and sending the first difference data to a destination storage device to enable the destination storage device to create a first destination snapshot for a destination storage object stored in the destination storage device based on the first difference data. Such techniques can migrate snapshots more efficiently to improve storage management efficiency.

    Abstract: A device for merging backup policies is configured to determine, if a first backup policy comprising a first set of rules, and a second backup policy comprising a second set of rules, are assigned to a backup object. The device is further configured to, when the first backup policy and the second backup policy are assigned to the backup object, generate a merged backup policy comprising a merged set of rules, based on the first backup policy and the second backup policy. A resource consumption of a backup created according to the merged backup policy is below a predefined threshold.
