Abstract
A method for managing access to a file based backup (FBB) includes generating, two backup snapshots, each at two points-in-time and each associated with a set of files, comparing the first backup snapshot and the second backup snapshot to generate a difference snapshot, wherein the difference snapshot specifies a third set of files that are different between the first set of files and the second set of files, providing a recovery notification to an application accessing the asset, wherein the recovery notification specifies recovering a file in the third set of files, obtaining a selection of the file in the third set of files from the application, and in response to the selection, performing a recovery of the file.
Claims20
A method for managing access to file based backups (FBBs), the method comprising:
- generating, at a first point-in-time, a first backup snapshot at a first point-in-time, wherein the first backup snapshot specifies a first set of files of an asset at the first point-in-time;
- generating, at a second point-in-time after the first point-in-time, a second backup snapshot at a second point-in-time, wherein the second backup snapshot specifies a second set of files of the asset at the second point-in-time;
- comparing the first backup snapshot and the second backup snapshot to generate a difference snapshot, wherein the difference snapshot specifies a third set of files that are different between the first set of files and the second set of files;
- providing a recovery notification to an application accessing the asset, wherein the recovery notification specifies recovering a file in the third set of files;
- obtaining a selection of the file in the third set of files from the application;
- and
- in response to the selection, performing a recovery of the file.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing access to file based backups (FBBs), the method comprising:
- generating, at a first point-in-time, a first backup snapshot at a first point-in-time, wherein the first backup snapshot specifies a first set of files of an asset at the first point-in-time;
- generating, at a second point-in-time after the first point-in-time, a second backup snapshot at a second point-in-time, wherein the second backup snapshot specifies a second set of files of the asset at the second point-in-time;
- comparing the first backup snapshot and the second backup snapshot to generate a difference snapshot, wherein the difference snapshot specifies a third set of files that are different between the first set of files and the second set of files;
- providing a recovery notification to an application accessing the asset, wherein the recovery notification specifies recovering a file in the third set of files;
- obtaining a selection of the file in the third set of files from the application;
- and
- in response to the selection, performing a recovery of the file.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, perform a method comprising:
- generating, at a first point-in-time, a first backup snapshot at a first point-in-time, wherein the first backup snapshot specifies a first set of files of an asset at the first point-in-time;
- generating, at a second point-in-time after the first point-in-time, a second backup snapshot at a second point-in-time, wherein the second backup snapshot specifies a second set of files of the asset at the second point-in-time;
- comparing the first backup snapshot and the second backup snapshot to generate a difference snapshot, wherein the difference snapshot specifies a third set of files that are different between the first set of files and the second set of files;
- providing a recovery notification to an application accessing the asset, wherein the recovery notification specifies recovering a file in the third set of files;
- obtaining a selection of the file in the third set of files from the application;
- and
- in response to the selection, performing a recovery of the file.
