User access to a data storage system including one or more nodes providing a plurality of data storage resources is controlled, the plurality of data storage resources storing one or more user-accessible primary data structures and one or more user-accessible secondary data structures, each secondary data structures being stored on the basis of a respective associated primary data structure, wherein the data storage system stores, for each secondary data structure, data structure metadata which is indicative of a parent data storage resource and an owner data storage resource of the respective secondary data structure. Upon receiving a user request to access a certain secondary data structure of the one or more secondary data structures stored on a respective parent data storage resource, based on data structure metadata stored for the certain secondary data structure, the respective owner data storage resource of the certain secondary data structure is determined.

Method, apparatus, and system for controlling user access to a data storage system

The present application relates to a data system for managing synchronized data protection operations at plural nodes of the data system, the data system including at least a first node and a second node, wherein the first node is communicably connected to the second node and is configured to operate on the basis of first sequence information, the first node being configured to perform a first data protection operation and to transmit a synchronization notification to the second node on the basis of respective instructions included in the first sequence information, and wherein the second node is configured to receive the synchronization notification from the first node and to operate on the basis of second sequence information, the second node being configured to perform a second data protection operation upon receipt of the synchronization notification on the basis of a respective instruction included in the second sequence information.

Data system for managing synchronized data protection operations at nodes of the data system, source node and destination node, and computer program product for use in such data system

A data management system that is enabled such that the user can select a data source node, a repository and a data path, choose policies for each and distribute the policies to be managed by the management system.

A method and system for backing up computer data uses a network device to select a storage device in a manner that enhances at least one parameter associated with the backup process.

Method for backup storage device selection

A method and system for facilitating the performance of data backups facilitates the storage of information being backed up on a non-tape storage device in a format that facilitates the subsequent transfer of the information to a tape storage device without substantial further processing by a computer.
