In a network, a common agnostic data exchange method between two devices native to the network, the devices using different formats and transmission protocols, includes invoking a proxy at each device, and a first proxy receiving a first data record from a first device, the first data record having a first format. The first proxy identifies the first format by comparing a first pattern of the first data record to reference patterns of one or more reference data records and determines if a sufficient pattern match exists between the first pattern and the reference pattern. The first proxy translates the first data record's format into an inter-proxy data record having an inter-proxy format and transmits the inter-proxy data record to a second proxy coupled to a second device. The second proxy translates the inter-proxy data record to a second data record having a format employed at the second device.

Common agnostic data exchange systems and methods

A server system receives messages from client computing devices. Each of the messages corresponds to a transaction. The server system assigns each respective transaction to a respective fresh virtual machine. Furthermore, the server system performs, as part of a respective virtual machine processing a respective transaction, a modification associated with the respective transaction to a shared database. The shared database is persisted independently of the plurality of virtual machines. In response to determining that processing of the respective transaction is complete, the server system discards the respective virtual machine. In response to determining that the respective transaction is associated with a cyber-attack, the server system uses checkpoint data associated with the respective transaction to roll back the modifications associated with the respective transaction to the shared database.

System and method for generating a synthetic full backup. A request to perform an incremental backup may be received at a target computer. The incremental backup may be performed on the target computer in response to the request. The target computer may maintain information identifying files that are encountered in the incremental backup. The information may be configured to be used to construct a synthetic full backup. A request to perform a synthetic full backup may be received. The information may be requested. The synthetic full backup may be constructed using the information from the target computer. A synthetic full backup index may be constructed for the synthetic full backup using records from old indexes for each file in the synthetic full backup. The synthetic full backup may be transferred to a backup image. The synthetic full backup index may be stored.

Synthetic full backup generation

Tracking files which have been processed by a backup/restore operation. A request to perform a backup/restore operation for files on a target computer may be received at the target computer. The request may be received from a server computer. Information regarding which files on the target computer have been processed by the backup/restore operation may be maintained by the target computer. The information may be configured to be used for restart of the backup/restore operation at a requested file. Maintaining the information may include storing file identifiers into a data structure on the target computer corresponding to files that have processed by the backup/restore operation.
