A method for managing file based backups (FBBs) includes obtaining, by a FBB metadata file operating in a production host and from an application, a shared access request for a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) to access a FBB, accessing a FBB metadata file associated with the FBB to determine file data accessible to the plurality of VMs, performing an attribute analysis on the FBB metadata file, wherein the storage location attributes are each associated with a storage location of a portion of the file data in a backup storage system, generating a shared virtual disk in the production host based on the attribute analysis, wherein the shared virtual disk maps the file data to the storage locations, generating the plurality of VMs, wherein the VMs read from and write to the shared virtual disk, and enabling access to the virtual machines by the application.

Managing use of a shared virtual disk for accessing data in file based backups by multiple virtual machines

In general, embodiments relate to a method for managing a technical support (TS) session on a technical support system. The embodiments include receiving TS correspondence from a client, wherein the TS correspondence is associated with the TS session, classifying the TS correspondence to assign it a question classification, based on the question classification, making a determination that the TS correspondence matches at least one prior received TS correspondence, wherein the at least one prior received TS correspondence is associated with the TS session, and visually identifying the TS correspondence and the at least one prior received TS correspondence on a graphical customer interface (GUI) of the technical support system.

Method and system to manage tech support interactions using dynamic notification platform

A method for managing a client environment includes obtaining a notification for an auto-generated service request, wherein the auto-generated service request is associated with a configuration of nodes in the client environment, in response to the notification: obtaining metadata associated with the auto-generated service request, analyzing the metadata to extract current node configuration details, comparing the current node configuration details to an node optimization model, making a determination, based on the comparing, that an optimization is required, based on the determination, performing a re-configuration on the nodes in the client environment.

System and method for managing automatic service requests for scaling nodes in a client environment

Embodiments of the invention relate to generating backups of assets. More specifically, in one or more embodiments of the invention, the meta-data generated during the backups is leveraged for detecting cyber-attacks by leveraging backup meta-data, to reduce the amount of data that needs to be scanned by a cyber-security module to detect a cyber-attack, such as a ransomware attack. This allows any attacks to be detected earlier and reduce processing by leveraging the periodic backups that are performed as part of data protection, to detect when an attack has or is occurring. By making these determinations, a quick identification of possible ransomware attacks may be made and other methods of mitigating the attack may be deployed when the method of mitigating the attack might still be useful to mitigate potential damage to a user's data.

Using backup meta-data and analytics for detecting cyber-attacks

System selects application hosts which meet update requirements, then downloads update for instances of application agent corresponding to selected application hosts. System puts selected application hosts in maintenance mode, which prevents selected application hosts from beginning execution of any operations, until updating selected application hosts is completed. System creates backup copy of state of instances of application agent. System generates installation instructions that, when executed by update sessions to install update, enable roll back from updated instances of application agent to state of instances of application agent recorded in backup copy. System initiates update sessions which install update in instances of application agent corresponding to selected application hosts. If update sessions failed to install update in any instances of application agent in cluster of application hosts, system rolls back update for updated instances of application agents in cluster to previous conditions and configurations of instances of application agents.

Generating installation software that rolls back agent updates when cluster updates fail

A method for performing an application migration operation includes initiating the application migration operation to migrate an application from a source device to a target device, where the source device includes a source data migration agent and the target device comprises a target data migration agent. The method also includes initiating an active scan of network traffic at a transmission control protocol layer. The method further includes establishing a secure data path between the source device and the target device. In addition, the method includes beginning migration of the application from the source device to the target device using the secure data path. Moreover, the method includes making a first determination, using the active scan, that a data packet is associated with suspicious activity and rejecting the data packet based on the first determination.

System and method for managing automatic service requests for workload management

One or more embodiments of the invention improves upon the traditional method of performing a backup, by having a data protection manager or similar component of the system, determine, when a backup is requested, which backup agent should initially perform the backup. That backup agent may then determine among the other applicable backup agents, which backup types are needed and the order each backup agent performs the backup, when more than one backup agent is appropriate. This will allow for a more efficient backup, while avoiding collisions between two or more backup agents trying to simultaneously back up the same data.
