Abstract: Techniques are provided for on-demand serverless disaster recovery. A primary node may host a primary volume. Snapshots of the primary volume may be backed up to an object store. In response to failure, a secondary node and/or an on-demand volume may be created on-demand. The secondary node may provide clients with failover access to the on-demand volume while a restore process restores a snapshot of the primary volume to the on-demand volume. In some embodiments, there was no secondary node and/or on-demand volume while the primary node was operational. This conserves computing resources that would be wasted by otherwise hosting the secondary node and/or on-demand volume while clients were able to access the primary volume through the primary node. Modifications directed to the on-demand volume are incrementally backed up to the object store for subsequently restoring the primary volume after recovery.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for on-demand creation and/or utilization of containers and/or serverless threads for hosting data connector components. The data connector components can be used to perform integrity checking, anomaly detection, and file system metadata analysis associated with objects stored within an object store. The data connector components may be configured to execute machine learning functionality to perform operations and tasks. The data connector components can perform full scans or incremental scans. The data connector components may be stateless, and thus may be offlined, upgraded, onlined, and/or have tasks transferred between data connector components. Results of operations performed by the data connector components upon base objects may be stored within sibling objects.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for an object file system for an object store. Data, maintained by a computing device, is stored into slots of an object. The data within the slots of the object is represented as a data structure comprising a plurality of nodes comprising cloud block numbers used to identify the object and particular slots of the object. A mapping metafile is maintained to map block numbers used to store the data by the computing device to cloud block numbers of nodes representing portion of the data stored within slots of the object. The object is stored into the object store, and the mapping metafile and the data structure are used to provide access through the object file system to portions of data within the object.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for incremental backup to an object store. A request may be received from an application to perform a backup from a volume hosted by a node to a backup target within the object store. A set of changed files within the volume since a prior backup of the volume was performed to the backup target is identified, along with metadata associated with the set of changed files. The metadata is utilized to identify changed data blocks comprising data of the set of changed files that was modified since the prior backup. The changed data blocks are backed up to the object store.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for storing immutable snapshot copes in write once read many (WORM) storage. A snapshot of a volume may be stored into one or more objects formatted according to an object format. An expiry time may be assigned to the snapshot and the one or more objects based upon a creation time of the snapshot and a retention time. The one or more objects may be stored within a remote object store. The one or more objects are retained in an immutable state and cannot be deleted until expiration of the expiry time. In response to identifying an existing object within the remote object store comprising shared snapshot data referenced by the snapshot, an assigned expiry time of the existing object may be modified based upon the expiry time of the snapshot to create a modified expiry time for the existing object.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for tiering snapshots to archival storage in remote object stores. A restore time metric, indicating that objects comprising snapshot data of snapshots created within a threshold timespan are to be available within a storage tier of a remote object store for performing restore operations, may be identified. A scanner may be executed to evaluate snapshots using the restore time metric to identify a set of candidate snapshots for archival from the storage tier to an archival storage tier of the remote object store. For each candidate snapshot within the set of candidate snapshots, the scanner may evaluate metadata associated with the candidate snapshot to identity one or more objects eligible for archival from the storage tier to the archival storage tier, and may archive the one or more objects from the storage tier to the archival storage tier.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing objects within an object store. An object is maintained within an object store. The object is used to store data of a snapshot of a file system hosted by a remote computing device. A determination is made that the snapshot was deleted by the remote computing device. Bitmaps describing objects within the object store that are related to snapshots of the file system are evaluated to determine that the object is unique to the deleted snapshot. The object is freed from storage within the object store.
