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: Techniques are provided for managing objects within an object store. An object is maintained within an object store. In an embodiment, a rule is enforced for the object that in-use slots of the object are non-modifiable and unused slots of the object are modifiable. Metadata of additional information for a slot within the object is attached to the object header. A first application allowed to access user data within the slot is provided access to the user data without being provided access to the metadata. A second application allowed access to the user data and the additional information is provided with access to the user data and the metadata for identifying a location of additional information within the object.

Abstract: Examples described herein include a data migration system for migrating data between different data storage environments. The data migration system creates a first volume on a first storage system, and creates a logical unit within the first volume. The data migration system then creates a virtual volume on a virtual storage system associated with a second storage system, wherein data stored in the virtual volume is backed by the logical unit on the first storage system. The data migration system then replicates, on the virtual volume, a set of data stored on the second storage system. Upon replicating the set of data onto the virtual volume the virtual storage system may automatically create a copy of the corresponding data in the logical unit of the first volume.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for performing a storage operation targeting objects stored across multiple storage tiers of a cloud storage environment. A volume may be backed up as objects stored across the multiple storage tiers of the cloud storage environment, such as a standard storage tier directly accessible to the storage operation, an archival storage tier not directly accessible to the storage operation, etc. The storage operation may target the objects, such as where the storage operation is a directory restore operation to restore a directory of the volume. The storage operation can be successfully implemented such as to restore the directory even though objects of the storage operation are stored across the multiple storage tiers of the cloud storage environment.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for on-demand creation and/or utilization of containers and/or serverless threads for hosting data connector components. The data connector components can be used to perform integrity checking, anomaly detection, and file system metadata analysis associated with objects stored within an object store. The data connector components may be configured to execute machine learning functionality to perform operations and tasks. The data connector components can perform full scans or incremental scans. The data connector components may be stateless, and thus may be offlined, upgraded, onlined, and/or have tasks transferred between data connector components. Results of operations performed by the data connector components upon base objects may be stored within sibling objects.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for volume group backup, volume group restore, and volume group garbage collection for volume groups backed up to an object store. A volume group workflow is implemented to orchestrate individual consistent volume workflows that are separately and individually implemented by nodes hosting constituent volumes of a volume group. The volume group workflow and the individual consistent volume workflows are performed to back up the volume group to the object store, restore a volume group backup from the object store to a restore destination, and/or perform garbage collection on slots of objects storing data unique to a volume group backup to delete.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for incremental snapshot copy to an object store. A list of deallocated block numbers of primary storage of a computing device are identified. Entries for the list of deallocated block numbers are removed from a mapping metafile. A list of changed block numbers corresponding to changes between a current snapshot of the primary storage and a prior copied snapshot copied from the primary storage to the object store is determined. The mapping metafile is evaluated using the list of changed block numbers to identify a deduplicated set of changed block numbers without entries within the mapping metafile. An object, comprising data of the deduplicated set of changed block numbers, is transmitted to the object store for storage as a new copied snapshot.

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.
