Abstract
Techniques for restoring file system resources are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for restoring file system resources comprising determining source configuration information of one or more file system resources, modeling a source configuration based at least in part on the source configuration information, determining target configuration information, modeling a target configuration based at least in part on the target configuration information, generating restoration instructions to map the source configuration to the target configuration, and executing the restoration instructions to restore the one or more file system resources of the source configuration to the target configuration.
Claims20
A method for restoring file system resources comprising:
- determining, using at least one computer processor, source configuration information of one or more file system resources;
- modeling a source configuration based at least in part on the source configuration information;
- determining target configuration information;
- modeling a target configuration based at least in part on the target configuration information;
- generating restoration instructions to map the source configuration to the target configuration;
- and
- executing the restoration instructions to restore the one or more file system resources of the source configuration to the target configuration, wherein restoration instructions are configured to re-label a disk label in the event a disk label of the target configuration is incompatible with the source configuration.
An article of manufacture for restoring file system resources, the article of manufacture comprising:
- at least one non-transitory processor readable storage medium, and
- instructions carried on the at least one storage medium;
- wherein the instructions are configured to be readable from the at least one storage medium by at least one processor and thereby cause the at least one processor to operate so as to:
- determine source configuration information of one or more file system resources;
- model a source configuration based at least in part on the source configuration information;
- determine target configuration information;
- model a target configuration based at least in part on the target configuration information;
- generate restoration instructions to map the source configuration to the target configuration;
- and
- execute the restoration instructions to restore the one or more file system resources of the source configuration to the target configuration, wherein restoration instructions are configured to re-label a disk label in the event a disk label of the target configuration is incompatible with the source configuration.
A system for restoring file system resources comprising:
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to a server;
- wherein the server is configured to:
- determine source configuration information of one or more file system resources;
- model a source configuration based at least in part on the source configuration information;
- determine target configuration information;
- model a target configuration based at least in part on the target configuration information;
- generate restoration instructions to map the source configuration to the target configuration;
- and
- execute the restoration instructions to restore the one or more file system resources of the source configuration to the target configuration, wherein restoration instructions are configured to re-label a disk label in the event a disk label of the target configuration is incompatible with the source configuration.
