Abstract
One example method includes assigning, at a production site, a priority to a portion of a dataset to be backed up, checking to determine if the priority meets or exceeds a threshold priority; and, when the priority meets or exceeds the threshold priority, and when an air gap between the production site and a storage vault is closed, backing up, by way of the closed air gap, the portion of the dataset to the storage vault.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- assigning, at a production site, a priority to one portion of a dataset to be backed up, and the one portion is one of a group of portions that together make up the dataset, and a respective priority of each of the portions of the dataset is relative to the respective priorities of the other portions of the dataset;
- and
- when an air gap between the production site and a storage vault is closed, and based on a relationship between the priority of the one portion and the respective priorities of one or more of the other portions, backing up, by way of the closed air gap, the one portion of the dataset to the storage vault.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- assigning, at a production site, a priority to one portion of a dataset to be backed up, and the one portion is one of a group of portions that together make up the dataset, and a respective priority of each of the portions of the dataset is relative to the respective priorities of the other portions of the dataset;
- and
- when an air gap between the production site and a storage vault is closed, and based on a relationship between the priority of the one portion and the respective priorities of one or more of the other portions, backing up, by way of the closed air gap, the one portion of the dataset to the storage vault.
