Systems and methods for backing up and restoring virtual machines in a cluster environment. An instrumentation interface enables configuration data to be stored with save sets during backup and enables the configuration of the destination to be adjusted based on the stored configuration during a restore.

Virtual backup and restore of virtual machines

Image restore from incremental backup

Systems and methods for backing up and restoring virtual machines in a cluster environment. A cluster agent that is cluster aware operates as an interface with the backup server. The cluster agent can locate the virtual machines being backed up or restored and coordinate with a local agent to perform the backup or restore of the virtual machines.

Highly available cluster agent for backup and restore operations

Systems and methods for granularly recovering a backup are provided. An image of a backup is mounted as a file system such that the files can be granularly restored. Image-level recovery and file-level recovery can be achieved from the same backup. The backup may also be de-duplicated.

De-duplicated file share mounting for granular level data recoveries

A snapshot of a remote virtual machine within a cluster of nodes is taken by using an image writer with a snapshot provider. A set of backup components is recorded by using a cluster interface. The remote virtual machine is reconstructed by using the snapshot and a framework with the set of backup components.

Virtual machine proxy server for hyper-V image backup and recovery

A remote snapshot is taken of a data associated with a node within a cluster of nodes by using a snapshot facility of an operating system. A set of backup data components is recorded. The data is remotely restored by interpreting the remote snapshot with the set of backup data components.

Cluster file server proxy server for backup and recovery

The invention provides scalable, secure, and easily administerable methods and systems for providing remote access to networked resources by combing aspects of physical access limitation measures with traditional computer access limitation measures. The methods and systems utilize an enrollment administration system for specifying enrollment rules, an enrollment system configured to communicate with the enrollment administration system to permit enrolling a first networked resource if permitted by specified enrollment rules, and a remote access system for granting a user remote access to the first networked resource if the user successfully enrolled the first networked resource.

Methods and apparatus for scalable secure remote desktop access

The invention relates to systems and methods for assigning a unique network identifier to one or more programs invoked on a computer. The computer obtains a plurality of network identifiers and associates a first network identifier to a first program invoked on the computer and associates a second network identifier, different from the first network identifier, to a second program invoked on the computer. The program may be a user session hosted by the computer, an application or an application isolation environment. The computer through a network communication interface transmits the first network identifier with the network communication of the first program and transmits the second network identifier with network communication of the second program.

System and method for assigning unique identifiers to each remote display protocol session established via an intermediary device

Systems and methods for providing a uniform network addressing scheme for a user accessing a network that is independent from the computer from which the user accesses the network. A virtual IP address is assigned to a user, a user session or a program run by user, where the IP address is different from the IP address of the computer of the user, and different from other users. A virtual host name is assigned to and associated with the virtual IP address of the user, user session or the program the user is running. As the user accesses the network from different computers, the user can be assigned the same virtual host name and in some cases the same virtual IP address. Furthermore, as the user accesses the network from multiple user sessions, the user can be assigned a virtual host name that uniquely identifies the user and the user session.
