Performing data storage operations with a cloud storage environment, including automatically selecting among multiple cloud storage sites

TLDR
In this article, a variety of data storage operations, including content-indexing, containerized deduplication, and policy-driven storage, within a cloud environment are described.
Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for performing data storage operations, including content-indexing, containerized deduplication, and policy-driven storage, within a cloud environment The systems support a variety of clients and cloud storage sites that may connect to the system in a cloud environment that requires data transfer over wide area networks, such as the Internet, which may have appreciable latency and/or packet loss, using various network protocols, including HTTP and FTP Methods are disclosed for content indexing data stored within a cloud environment to facilitate later searching, including collaborative searching Methods are also disclosed for performing containerized deduplication to reduce the strain on a system namespace, effectuate cost savings, etc Methods are disclosed for identifying suitable storage locations, including suitable cloud storage sites, for data files subject to a storage policy Further, systems and methods for providing a cloud gateway and a scalable data object store within a cloud environment are disclosed, along with other features

System for backing up files from disk volumes on multiple nodes of a computer network

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a system for backuping files from disk volumes on multiple nodes of a computer network to a common random-access backup storage means, where duplicate files (or portions of files) may be identified across nodes, so that only a single copy of the contents of the duplicate files or portions thereof is stored in the backup storage mean.
