Synthetic full copies of data and dynamic bulk-to-brick transformation
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a near-line server coupled to one or more servers that include original data; and
an information system coupled to the near-line server and configured to receive a copy of original data and delta data that includes information of changes to the original data, the information system configured to generate and maintain an updated version of the copy by applying the delta data to the copy as the delta data is received, the information system configured to dynamically transform the updated version from a first structure by organizing items of the data into a second structure that preserves the hierarchy of the first structure.

Abstract
Multi-dimensional surrogation systems and methods are provided that generate at least one up-to-date data surrogate using information of data and numerous data changes received from at least one data source, including a production system. Embodiments described further perform bulk-to-brick transformation of the up-to-date data surrogate. Brick-level data, or item data, is further indexed and stored in an application-aware manner. The stored item data is easily accessible by many data management applications for integrated item search and recovery functions, audit functions, monitoring and supervision functions, legal discovery functions, compliance functions, archival functions, backup functions, disaster recovery functions, and more. Bulk-to-brick transformation and access of the stored item data occur off of the production system, thus contributing no performance degradation to the production system.

44. A system comprising:
-
a near-line server coupled to one or more servers that include original data; and
an information system coupled to the near-line server and configured to receive a plurality of delta data, the delta data including information of changes to the original data, the information system configured to dynamically generate and maintain an updated version of a copy of the original data at the near-line server by applying at least one of the plurality of delta data to the copy and controlling the applying using modified information of a component of the near-line server, the information system configured to dynamically transform the data from a first structure by organizing items of the data into a second structure that preserves the hierarchy of the first structure.

45. A device comprising an information system configured to receive a copy of original data and delta data that includes information of changes to the original data, the information system configured to generate and maintain an updated version of the copy by applying the delta data to the copy as the delta data is received, the information system configured to dynamically transform the updated version from a first structure by organizing items of the data into a second structure that preserves the hierarchy of the first structure.
