| 20100070469 | ENHANCED SYNCHRONIZATION FRAMEWORK PROVIDING IMPROVED SYNC GRANULARITY - A sync manager invokes a scheduled sync task that includes filter attributes for filtering a plurality of memory pages into a subset of memory pages. The sync manager selects file pointers that correspond to a plurality of files and traverses through the files using the selected file pointers. While traversing, the sync manager extracts file attributes for each of the files and, in turn, filters the files by comparing the filter attributes with the extracted file attributes. The sync manager then extracts memory page identifiers that correspond to the filtered files and synchronizes a subset of memory pages using the extracted memory page identifiers. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20100082534 | Method and System of Managing Conflicts for a Set of Synchronized Folders - Generally, the described system and process enables resolution of conflicts in a synchronized folder. Within the described mesh operating environment, each of the devices may be configured to do the same processing so that the file system view of the synchronized folder looks the same on all devices (pending local capabilities).

| 20110178983 | Fast primary cluster recovery - A cluster recovery process is implemented across a set of distributed archives, where each individual archive is a storage cluster of preferably symmetric nodes. Each node of a cluster typically executes an instance of an application that provides object-based storage of fixed content data and associated metadata. According to the storage method, an association or “link” between a first cluster and a second cluster is first established to facilitate replication.

Upon a failure of the first cluster, however, a failover operation occurs, and clients of the first cluster are redirected to the second cluster. Upon repair or replacement of the first cluster (a “restore”), the repaired or replaced first cluster resumes authority for servicing the clients of the first cluster. This restore operation preferably occurs in two stages: a “fast recovery” stage that involves preferably “bulk” transfer of the first cluster metadata, following by a “fail back” stage that involves the transfer of the fixed content data. Upon receipt of the metadata from the second cluster, the repaired or replaced first cluster resumes authority for the clients irrespective of whether the fail back stage has completed or even begun. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20150100546 | Selective Synchronization in a Hierarchical Folder Structure - A technique is described to selectively synchronize content on a client database with content from a server database. As the user traverses a hierarchical folder structure of the client database, he may run into content that has been deleted or moved in the server database. If the content is something that the user wishes to store locally, the content can be stored as an orphan. An orphan is content stored on the client that cannot be traversed by the hierarchical folder structure. When the user traverses to a node in the hierarchical folder structure that is missing an object existing on the server, a determination can be made as to whether the orphan object is the missing object. If so, the orphan object can be connected once against to the hierarchical folder structure. This may minimize the content that needs to be re-downloaded from the server. | 04-09-2015 |

| 20160191625 | INTELLIGENT DATA PROPAGATION USING PERFORMANCE MONITORING - Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems that can intelligently copy data to a plurality of datastores using performance monitoring are described. In one embodiment, a shortest path tree determines the most efficient paths available for copying data from a source datastore to one or more destination datastores. During the copying of the data between a source datastore and the one or more destination datastores, a performance value of each of the datastores involved in the copying process is compared to a threshold. In response to determining that the performance value of a given source or destination datastore involved in the copying exceeds the threshold, the copying of the data to the corresponding destination datastore is suspended. An updated shortest path tree is determined to locate a more efficient path for copying data to the suspended destination datastore. Copying is resumed to the suspended destination datastore using the updated shortest path tree. | 06-30-2016 |
