Abstract
In one aspect, a method includes generating a secure connection with a replication system using credentials, receiving a user-initiated command to control the replication system, generating a connection object, determining if the connection to the replication system has been initiated, sending the command to the replication system if the connection is initiated, obtaining input from a character stream to process and processing data for use by a backup system.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- generating a secure connection with a replication system using credentials;
- receiving a user-initiated command to control the replication system;
- generating a connection object;
- determining if the connection to the replication system has been initiated;
- sending the command to the replication system if the connection is initiated;
- obtaining input from a character stream to process;
- processing data for use by a backup system;
- if the connection has not been initiated:
- generating a reader thread;
- receiving asynchronous I/Os;
- checking for a response from the replication system;
- and
- reading into a buffered I/O stream.
