Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing objects within an object store. An object is maintained within an object store. In an embodiment, a rule is enforced for the object that in-use slots of the object are non-modifiable and unused slots of the object are modifiable. Metadata of additional information for a slot within the object is attached to the object header. A first application allowed to access user data within the slot is provided access to the user data without being provided access to the metadata. A second application allowed access to the user data and the additional information is provided with access to the user data and the metadata for identifying a location of additional information within the object.

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 restoring a directory from a snapshot of a volume backed up to an object store. The snapshot may be backed up from a node to the object store, such as a cloud computing environment. A user may want to restore the directory within the volume without having to restore the entire volume, which otherwise would waste computing resources, storage, network bandwidth, and time. Accordingly, the techniques provided herein are capable of restoring just the directory from the snapshot that is stored within the object store. Because snapshot data of the snapshot may be stored across multiple objects within the object store, certain objects are identified as comprising snapshot data (backup data) of the directory and content items within the directory. In this way, the snapshot data of the directory is restored from these objects to a restore directory at a restore target.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing objects within an object store. An object is maintained within an object store. The object comprises a plurality of slots. Each slot is used to store a unit of data accessible to applications hosted by remote computing devices. The object comprises an object header used to store metadata for each slot. A determination is made that the object is a fragmented object comprising an in-use slot of in-use data and a freed slot from which data was freed. The object is compacted to retain in-use data and exclude freed data as a rewritten object.

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.

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 incremental snapshot copy to an object store. A list of deallocated block numbers of primary storage of a computing device are identified. Entries for the list of deallocated block numbers are removed from a mapping metafile. A list of changed block numbers corresponding to changes between a current snapshot of the primary storage and a prior copied snapshot copied from the primary storage to the object store is determined. The mapping metafile is evaluated using the list of changed block numbers to identify a deduplicated set of changed block numbers without entries within the mapping metafile. An object, comprising data of the deduplicated set of changed block numbers, is transmitted to the object store for storage as a new copied snapshot.

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.
