Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing management requests associated with objects of an object store. A data connector component may be instantiated as a container for processing management requests associated with backup data stored within an object store as an object according to an object format. A management request associated with the backup data may be received by the data connector component. A structure associated with the object having the object format may be traversed by the data connector component to identify the backup data. The data connector component may be implemented upon the backup data stored within the object.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and computing devices that receive data from a primary storage node. The data is stored in a primary volume within a primary composite aggregate hosted by the primary storage node. A determination is made when the data is tagged to indicate that the data is stored in the primary volume on a remote data storage device of the primary composite aggregate. The data is stored on another remote data storage device without storing the data in a local data storage device, when the determining indicates that the data is tagged to indicate that the data is stored in the primary volume on a remote data storage device of the primary composite aggregate. Accordingly, this technology allows data placement to remain consistent across primary and secondary volumes and facilitates efficient operation of secondary storage nodes by eliminating two-phase writes for data stored on cloud storage devices.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing objects within an object store. An object is maintained within an object store. The object comprises a plurality of slots. Each slot is used to store a unit of data accessible to applications hosted by remote computing devices. The object comprises an object header used to store metadata for each slot. A determination is made that the object is a fragmented object comprising an in-use slot of in-use data and a freed slot from which data was freed. The object is compacted to retain in-use data and exclude freed data as a rewritten object.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing objects within an object store. An object is maintained within an object store. The object is used to store data of a snapshot of a file system hosted by a remote computing device. A determination is made that the snapshot was deleted by the remote computing device. Bitmaps describing objects within the object store that are related to snapshots of the file system are evaluated to determine that the object is unique to the deleted snapshot. The object is freed from storage within the object store.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and computing device that receives metadata for a block associated with an object from a source storage node. The metadata comprises a source object identifier and the object is associated with a source volume of a source aggregate owned by the source storage node. A determination is made when another block associated with the object has been previously received. A destination object identifier is obtained based on the source object identifier, when the determining indicates that the other block associated with the object has been previously received. A new aggregate block number is assigned to the block based on the destination object identifier and another portion of the metadata. Ownership of the source volume is transferred upon receipt of an indication of a cutover from the source storage node in order to migrate the source volume to a destination volume of a destination aggregate.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for on-demand serverless disaster recovery. A primary node may host a primary volume. Snapshots of the primary volume may be backed up to an object store. In response to failure, a secondary node and/or an on-demand volume may be created on-demand. The secondary node may provide clients with failover access to the on-demand volume while a restore process restores a snapshot of the primary volume to the on-demand volume. In some embodiments, there was no secondary node and/or on-demand volume while the primary node was operational. This conserves computing resources that would be wasted by otherwise hosting the secondary node and/or on-demand volume while clients were able to access the primary volume through the primary node. Modifications directed to the on-demand volume are incrementally backed up to the object store for subsequently restoring the primary volume after recovery.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for a data format for efficient management of checkpoint support. The data format corresponds to a base metafile and a set of instance metafiles used to track storage operations such as a directory restore operation. The base metafile and the set of instance metafiles can be used to resume the storage operation from where the storage operation left off in the event of a failure. The base metafile and the set of instance metafiles can be used to track progress of the storage operation processing objects stored within an object store of a cloud storage environment.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for a snapshot difference interface integrated into an object store data management container. The snapshot difference interface is capable of interpreting an object format and snapshot file system format of snapshots backed up to an object store within objects formatted according to the object format. The snapshot difference interface can identify differences between snapshots, such as files that changed between the snapshots, while the snapshots are still resident within the object store. Because the snapshot difference interface does not retrieve the snapshots from the object store, security is improved, resource and network consumption is reduced, there is less of an impact upon client I/O processing, and a catalog of the snapshots can be more efficiently built and recovered in the event of corruption.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for restoring a directory from a snapshot of a volume backed up to an object store. The snapshot may be backed up from a node to the object store, such as a cloud computing environment. A user may want to restore the directory within the volume without having to restore the entire volume, which otherwise would waste computing resources, storage, network bandwidth, and time. Accordingly, the techniques provided herein are capable of restoring just the directory from the snapshot that is stored within the object store. Because snapshot data of the snapshot may be stored across multiple objects within the object store, certain objects are identified as comprising snapshot data (backup data) of the directory and content items within the directory. In this way, the snapshot data of the directory is restored from these objects to a restore directory at a restore target.
