Abstract: Live mounting a virtual machine (VM) causes the VM to run off a backup copy or snapshot previously taken of a “live” production VM. The live-mounted VM is generally intended for temporary use such as to validate the integrity and contents of the backup copy for disaster recovery validation, or to access some contents of the backup copy from the live-mounted VM without restoring all backed up files. These uses contemplate that changes occurring during live mount are not preserved after the live-mounted VM expires or is taken down. Thus, live mounting a VM is not a restore operation and usually does not involve access to every block of data in the backup copy. However, live mounting provides live VM service in the cloud sooner than waiting for all of the backup copy/snapshot to be restored.

Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein relate to an improved information management system that can perform provider-specific data protection methods for cloud-stored data. In one embodiment, the information management system accesses a pod specification that indicates information usable to execute a containerized application on behalf of a user, and determines the cloud provider system configured to provide one or more computing resources for execution the containerized application. Using a provider-specific interface that is specific to the determined cloud provider system, the information management system creates a snapshot of a cloud storage volume associated with the containerized application and accesses the data inside the snapshot. The accessed data is stored onto a secondary storage device, and the snapshot is removed from the cloud provider system, thereby providing an efficient backup solution for the data used for executing the containerized application on the container orchestrator system.

Abstract: Illustrative embodiments represent a dynamic on-demand approach to configuring destination storage for bare metal restore (BMR) operations without operator intervention, including destination storage that is smaller than source storage devices. The illustrative operations rely on system state information collected concurrently with or shortly after source data is backed up, thereby capturing current actual storage metrics for the source data. The illustrative embodiments further rely on enhanced data agent components to collect and restore system state information as well as to restore backup data, thereby streamlining the configurations needed for the BMR operation to proceed. Additional business logic matches source mount points with suitable smaller destination storage resources and ensures that the BMR operation successfully completes with diverse and/or smaller storage destinations.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure enable data protection operations including differential and incremental backups by performing changed-block tracking in network or cloud computing systems with architectures that do not natively support changed-block tracking or do not expose changed-block tracking functionality to an information management system. In certain aspects, an identity of changed blocks may be obtained by using a hypervisor configured to interface with the cloud computing architecture. The identified changed blocks may be used to generate a map of the changed blocks. The maps of the changed blocks can be used by a virtual server agent to extract the changed blocks from a copy of a virtual machine disk and backed up to perform a differential or incremental backup.

Abstract: A “backup services container” comprises “backup toolkits,” which include scripts for accessing containerized applications plus enabling utilities/environments for executing the scripts. The backup services container is added to Kubernetes pods comprising containerized applications without changing other pod containers. For maximum value and advantage, the backup services container is “over-equipped” with toolkits. The backup services container selects and applies a suitable backup toolkit to a containerized application to ready it for a pending backup. Interoperability with a proprietary data storage management system provides features that are not possible with third-party backup systems. Some embodiments include one or more components of the proprietary data storage management within the illustrative backup services container. Some embodiments include one or more components of the proprietary data storage management system in a backup services pod configured in a Kubernetes node. All configurations and embodiments are suitable for cloud and/or non-cloud computing environments.

Abstract: According to certain aspects, a method of creating customized bootable images for client computing devices in an information management system can include: creating a backup copy of each of a plurality of client computing devices, including a first client computing device; subsequent to receiving a request to restore the first client computing device to the state at a first time, creating a customized bootable image that is configured to directly restore the first client computing device to the state at the first time, wherein the customized bootable image includes system state specific to the first client computing device at the first time and one or more drivers associated with hardware existing at time of restore on a computing device to be rebooted; and rebooting the computing device to the state of the first client computing device at the first time from the customized bootable image.
