According to certain aspects, a secondary computing system can be configured to perform a full backup on database data, generate incremental backups comprising log files associated with modifications to the database data, and create a differential full backup copy of the database data using the full backup copy and changed blocks identified using the log files from the incremental backups.

Managing structured data in a data storage system

The disclosed computer-implemented method for backing up heterogeneous virtual environments may include (1) identifying a request to back up a virtual machine executing on a host system, (2) creating a storage map of a virtual storage environment of the virtual machine by (a) identifying, from the host system, a virtual disk file that stores data for the virtual machine and (b) identifying, from a guest system operating within the virtual machine, one or more virtual storage devices that store data for the virtual machine, and (3) creating a unified backup of the virtual machine based on the storage map of the virtual storage environment by coordinating a backup operation of the virtual disk file with a backup operation of the virtual storage device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for backing up heterogeneous virtual environments

Techniques for performing an incremental backup are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for performing an incremental backup comprising retrieving a first identifier from a first portion of a prior backup of a database, backing up a first portion of a snapshot of the database, retrieving, using at least one computer processor, a second portion of the snapshot of the database, determining whether a second identifier of the second portion of the snapshot of the database is greater than the first identifier, and in the event the second identifier is greater than the first identifier, backing up the second portion of the snapshot of the database.
