First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for performing a data protection operation for a database, the method comprising:
- setting parameters related to changes in the database, the parameters including a minimum value, a maximum value, and an interval value;
querying the database to determine a change value for the database; and
performing a differential backup or a full backup based on an evaluation of the change value relative to the parameters.

Abstract
Systems and methods for performing differential and full data protection operations. Parameters that define minimum, interval, and maximum values are provided to an agent. These values relate to changes in the data or in a database. The agent monitors the database and backups are triggered in accordance with these values. A differential backup is not performed until the minimum value is reached and differential backups are performed only after subsequent intervals are reached. A full backup is performed once the maximum value is reached.

11. A method for backing up a database with a backup server and an agent operating on a client machine, the method comprising:
-
setting parameters for the database by the server, the parameters including a minimum value, an interval value, and a maximum value; performing a query, by the agent, to the database to determine a modified page count; performing a differential backup when the modified page count is greater than the minimum value; performing a full backup when the modified page count is greater than the maximum value; and performing a differential backup when the modified page count is greater than a last differential modified page count plus the interval value, wherein the last differential modified page count is the modified page count at a time when the last differential backup was performed. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for executing a method for backing up a database with a backup server and an agent operating on a client machine, the method comprising:
-
setting parameters for the database by the server, the parameters including a minimum value, an interval value, and a maximum value; performing a query, by the agent, to the database to determine a modified page count; performing a differential backup when the modified page count is greater than the minimum value; performing a full backup when the modified page count is greater than the maximum value; and performing a differential backup when the modified page count is greater than a last differential modified page count plus the interval value, wherein the last differential modified page count is the modified page count at a time when the last differential backup was performed. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
