Methods for enhancing management of backup data sets and devices thereof

A method for enhancing management of backup data sets, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a virtualization management computing device comprising a processor, an operation on a region of a production data set;
• marking, by the virtualization management computing device comprising the processor, a corresponding region of a backup data set as having a change state status until the received operation is completed on the region of the production data set and mirrored on the corresponding region of the backup data set;
• receiving, by the virtualization management computing device comprising the processor, a read operation to the corresponding region of the backup data set as a result of a failover;
• determining, by the virtualization management computing device comprising the processor, an error with respect to the received read operation when the marking indicates the corresponding region of the backup data set has the change state status;
• receiving, by the virtualization management computing device comprising the processor, another operation to the corresponding region of the backup data set as a result of a failover;
• and
• executing, by the virtualization management computing device comprising the processor, the received another operation on the corresponding region of the backup data set when the marking indicates the corresponding region of the backup data set is valid.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for enhancing management of backup data sets comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

• receiving a request to perform an operation on a region of a production data set;
• marking a region of a backup data set corresponding to the region of the production data set on which the operation will be performed, to indicate a change state status for the marked region of the backup data set;
• and
• determining when a critical error has occurred in the marked region of the backup data set based on a data corruption rate for the marked region of the backup data set exceeding a set threshold after performance of the operation is completed on the region of the production data set and mirrored on the marked region of the backup data set.

A virtualization management computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory coupled to the one or more processors which are configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions, which comprise the programmed instructions stored in the memory to:
• receive a request to perform an operation on a region of a production data set;
• mark a region of a backup data set corresponding to the region of the production data set on which the operation will be performed, to indicate a change state status for the marked region of the backup data set;
• and
• determine when a critical error has occurred in the marked region of the backup data set based on a data corruption rate for the marked region of the backup data set exceeding a set threshold after performance of the operation is completed on the region of the production data set and mirrored on the marked region of the backup data set.
