    Abstract: A method for transferring virtual machines across hypervisors is described. According to the method, a data management system may interface with a first hypervisor platform and a second hypervisor platform. The data management system may obtain a snapshot of a first virtual machine executing on the first hypervisor platform. The snapshot may include data and metadata associated with the first virtual machine in a first format that is supported by the first hypervisor platform. The data management system may extract the data and the metadata from the snapshot of the first virtual machine and convert the data and the metadata from the first format to a second format that is supported by the second hypervisor platform. The data management system may transfer the data and the metadata in the second format to a second virtual machine executing on the second hypervisor platform.

    Abstract: A data storage infrastructure may establish a partition that includes a first data center and a second data center that is geographically separated from the first data center. The data storage infrastructure may replicate a full snapshot and one or more incremental snapshots of a virtual machine from a first data management platform to a second data management platform, where the virtual machine is migrated from a first host of the first host group to a second host of the second host group upon a failover event occurring at the first data center. The data storage infrastructure may then capture an incremental snapshot of the virtual machine based on linking a first instance of the virtual machine that was replicated from the first data management platform and a second instance of the virtual machine that is managed by the second data management platform.

    Abstract: A data backup and recovery method and system using allocated data blocks include identifying a first snapshot associated with a virtual machine; accessing changed block tracking data associated with data changes occurred in the virtual machine, the data changes corresponding to a set of changed data blocks; accessing block allocation status data associated with the set of changed data blocks; identifying one or more allocated data blocks from the set of changed data blocks that are associated with allocated status based on the block allocation status data; and storing the one or more allocated data blocks to a storage device.

    Abstract: A storage cluster may dynamically select a data transport mode for supporting a backup or export job. The storage cluster may receive a trigger indication to create, a backup of data of a source virtual machine. The storage cluster may select a data transport mode to use for reading the data from the source virtual machine to create the backup at the storage cluster. The selection may be from a set of data transport modes that includes a proxy virtual machine mode and a direct-to-host mode. The storage cluster may transmit, to a host for the source virtual machine, a request to activate the selected data transport mode, and receive the data from the source virtual machine via the selected data transport mode. The storage cluster may use the data to create the backup.
