20100191783 | Method and system for interfacing to cloud storage - An interface between an existing local file system and a data store (e.g., a “write-once” store) generates and exports to the data store a “versioned” file system. The state of the local file system at a given point in time can be determined using the versioned file system. Preferably, the versioned file system comprises a set of structured data representations (such as XML) that comprise metadata associated with the actual file system data. In operation, the interface creates and exports to the data store structured data representations, which correspond to versions of the local file system, as well as the actual file system data that these structured data representations represent. A cache associated with the interface stores recently used data and metadata, as well as all write data and metadata waiting to be transferred to the data store. Prior to transfer, one or more data transformations, such as compression, encryption, de-duplication and the like, may be applied to the data and metadata. The data store comprises any type of back-end storage device, system or architecture. In one embodiment, the data store comprises one or more cloud storage service providers. As necessary, a given structured data representation is then used to retrieve an associated version of the file system. In this manner, the versioned file system only requires write-once behavior from the data store to preserve its complete state at any point-in-time. The cache facilitates near-instant restore of the file system on an as-needed basis. When the interface is positioned in “front” of a generic data store, the interface has the effect of turning that data store into a “versioned file system” (“VFS”). A content control system (CCS) is used to configure and manage the interface. | 07-29-2010 |

20120030261 | Versioned file system with pruning - A versioned file system comprises a set of structured data representations, such as XML. Each structured data representation corresponds to a “version,” and each version comprises a tree of write-once objects rooted at a root directory manifest. Each version in the versioned file system has associated therewith a “borrow window.” When it is desired to reconstruct the file system to a point in time (or, more generally, a given state), i.e., to perform a “restore,” it is only required to walk (use) a single structured data representation (a tree). During a restore, metadata is pulled back from the cloud first, so users can see the existence of needed files immediately. The remainder of the data is then pulled back from the cloud if/when the user goes to open the file. As a result, the entire file system (or any portion thereof) can be restored to a previous time nearly instantaneously. A “fast” restore is performed if an object being restored exists within a “borrow window” of the version from which the system is restoring. A version is pruned from the versioned file system by deleting all objects in the tree (associated with the version) that, at the time of pruning: (i) are not being lent to any other version within the borrow window of the version being pruned, and (ii) are not referenced in any other version whose borrow window is sufficiently large enough such that an object in the version could have been restored from that other version. | 02-02-2012 |
