Mobile device data recovery

Information is managed by receiving at a data source device, from an application running on a data source device, an instruction associated with a file system object. It is determined at the data source device if the instruction is able to be satisfied by a file system running on the data source device. If it is determined that the instruction is not able to be satisfied by the file system, the instruction is performed without the services of the file system; the application is unaware that the file system object is managed by an entity other than the file system running on the data source device.

Incremental block based backup

A method, article of manufacture, and apparatus for protecting data. In some embodiments, this includes connecting a new physical machine to a router, detecting the new physical machine, with a virtual appliance, based on the connection adding the new physical machine to a database, and backing up the new physical machine to a deduplicated virtual storage device, wherein the backup is in a virtual format.

Discovering new physical machines for physical to virtual conversion

A source virtual machine (VM) disk file associated with a VM is parsed to generate metadata representing files stored in a virtual storage device of the VM, where the VM is one of VMs hosted by a VM monitor (VMM). In response to a request for an incremental backup of files stored in the source VM disk file, a file attribute of each of the files is examined based on the metadata to identify one or more files that have been modified within a predetermined past period of time. File records associated with the identified files are determined based on the metadata that have been modified within the predetermined past period of time. The identified file records are then backed up from the source VM disk file to a target VM disk file, without having to back up unmodified files in the source VM disk file.
