An indication of a storage service job to be performed is received. A task to be performed for the storage service job is determined. The task is added to a work queue. Execution of one or more tasks in the work queue that includes the task is dynamically managed. Resources are dynamically allocated to one or more virtualization containers that are assigned to execute the one or more tasks in the work queue. An identification of one or more new tasks to be performed for the storage service job is received from one of the virtualization containers executing the task. The one or more new tasks are added to the work queue.

Dynamically performing a storage service job workflow

A stream of data changes to content of an object associated with a source system is received. A hot standby version of at least a portion of the object maintained at a recovery system is updated by streaming the received stream of data changes to the recovery system. It is determined that a gap exists in the stream of data changes. In response to determining that the gap exists in the stream of data changes, a reference snapshot is requested from the source system. A current state of the hot standby version of at least the portion of the object maintained at the recovery system is caused to be updated to a state of the portion of the object associated with the reference snapshot.

Standbys for continuous data protection-enabled objects

An identification of a new primary snapshot created for a primary storage system is received. A change tracking time window that is at least a portion of a period between a first capture time associated with a previous primary snapshot and a second capture time associated with the new primary snapshot is determined. Entries of a storage log of the primary storage system occurring within the change tracking time window are analyzed to coalesce changes identified in the entries of the storage log occurring within the change tracking time window into a change tracking result set. The change tracking result set is used to identify at least a portion of data changes between the previous primary snapshot and the new primary snapshot to capture in a new backup snapshot stored at a secondary storage system.

Coalescing storage log entries

Content of an object of a source system for backup is received at a backup system different from the source system. A standby version of at least a portion of the object of the source system is maintained at a recovery system. A backup of the received content is performed using the backup system. In response to a request to place the standby version at a specified recovery time point, backup data utilized in updating the standby version to the specified recovery time point is provided to the recovery system via the backup system.

An identification of a new primary snapshot created for a primary storage system is received. A threshold time window based on a capture time associated with the new primary snapshot is determined. Entries of a storage log of the primary storage system occurring within the threshold time window are analyzed to identify any objects of the primary storage system that have changed during the threshold time window. Changed objects to capture in a new secondary backup stored at a secondary storage system and corresponding to the new primary snapshot are identified. Metadata of the new primary snapshot and metadata of a previous secondary backup are compared to determine for each of the objects of the primary storage system identified as having changed during the threshold time window whether a change to an object since the previous secondary backup is captured in the new primary snapshot.
