Terrence Barwegen holds a patent for a method titled "Checkpoint based progressive backup." This invention describes methods, program products, and systems for checkpoint-based progressive backup. When a system receives a request to update a page of a storage device that stores database files, it can update the page and replicate the updated page in a shadow page within a backup queue. The backup queue can store multiple shadow pages, with each updated page corresponding to a specified number of shadow pages. Each shadow page is associated with a timestamp of the latest update. At pre-specified temporal checkpoints, the system writes the shadow pages in the queue to a backup file in the order of the timestamps. Upon receiving a restoration request, the system can restore the database to a state as of the time of the checkpoint using the backup file. This innovative solution enhances the efficiency and reliability of data management.
