DATA BACKUP AND RECOVERY

摘要

Techniques for data backup and recovery are described. In one implementation, at least one storage device storing original data which has failed is determined. Once the failed storage device is determined, backup related information corresponding to the failed at least one storage device is determined. Based on the backup related information at least one backup of the original data from a storage unit is identified. The backup as identified is eventually used for recovering data corresponding to the original data.

1. A data backup and recovery system comprising:
a processor; and a backup and application monitoring agent coupled to the processor, the backup and application monitoring agent to,
determine backup related information associated with at least one storage device having stored thereupon original data, wherein the backup related information specifies at least a priority index associated with the at least one storage device; and a backup tracking module coupled to the processor, the backup tracking module to,
identify, in the event of the original data stored on the at least one storage device becoming unavailable, at least one backup of the original data from a backup storage unit based on the backup related information, for recovering data corresponding to the original data.
