Abstract

A device such as a network-attachable data transfer device may be configured to operate in a cluster to coordinate the storage of data. A first manifest may be generated inventorying a first set of data successfully transferred to the data transfer device from a data source. A second manifest may be generated inventorying a second set of data successfully transferred from the data transfer device to a data destination. The first manifest may be compared with the second manifest to determine a transfer status of one or more data objects. The transfer status may indicate one or more data objects successfully transferred to the data destination from the data source. The one or more objects may be processed according to the transfer status.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

copying a plurality of data objects from a customer data source onto a network-attachable data transfer device located at a customer location;
generating, at the customer location, a source manifest inventorying a set of data objects of the plurality of data objects that have been successfully copied to the network-attachable data transfer device at the customer location;
providing the source manifest to a service provider location;
receiving, from the service provider location, a receipt manifest inventorying data objects of the plurality of data objects that have been successfully transmitted from the network-attachable data transfer device to a data storage service at the service provider location;
performing, at the customer location, a comparison of the source manifest and the receipt manifest to determine a subset of the set of data objects that have been successfully transferred from the data transfer device to the data storage service;
and
performing, at the customer location, a set of operations that process individual data objects of the subset of the set of data objects in response to the comparison.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing thereon executable instructions that, as a result of being executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:

receive, at a first location, a first manifest that inventories a first set of data objects obtained from a data transfer device transported from the first location, the first manifest generated at a second location;
perform, at the first location, a comparison between the first manifest and a second manifest that inventories a second set of data objects written to the data transfer device to determine a status for a data object in the first set of data objects, the second manifest generated at the first location;
and
process, at the first location, the data object in accordance with the status.
