Data transfer service

摘要

In various embodiments, methods and systems for transferring data using a storage medium are provided. A storage medium may be shipped by a customer to a datacenter such that the data on the storage medium is copied to a storage associated with the datacenter or data in the storage is copied to the storage medium. The datacenter may support a cloud computing infrastructure that provides a storage account to the customer that is associated with the data copied from or copied to the storage medium. The storage medium further corresponds to a data transfer manifest that includes at least in part data mapping between storage service infrastructure and data in the storage medium. It is contemplated that embodiments of the present invention may further be implemented with data transfer service components that support a client component, storage service component, and a data transfer management component.

主权项

1. One or more computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method for importing data on storage media, the method comprising:
accessing a storage medium, wherein the storage medium corresponds to a data transfer manifest, and wherein the storage medium is associated with an import job; referencing the data transfer manifest, wherein the data transfer manifest at least provides data mapping between storage service infrastructure and data in the storage medium; copying data from the storage medium to the storage service infrastructure, based on the data transfer manifest; and generating a log object for the data, wherein the log object comprises, at least in part, a data error event associated with the data processed from the storage medium, wherein the log object data provides for repairing the data associated with the data error event based on the log object, wherein the data is repaired using repair data retrieved from an identified location.
