Management interface for a system that provides automated, real-time, continuous data protection
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A data management system, comprising:
- a management gateway comprising a processor and memory, the management gateway communicably coupled to a host driver and a set of nodes;
wherein the host driver is associated with each of a set of data sources, the host driver monitoring and capturing application events and generating a continuous application-aware, data stream;
wherein the set of nodes share a distributed data storage, the nodes receiving and storing, as data objects, the continuous application-aware data streams generated by the host drivers, wherein the stored data objects comprise a distributed data object store;
wherein the management gateway provides a display interface comprising a time control that enables specification of a past time and display of a representation of the distributed data object store, or a given portion thereof, as it existed at the past time; and
wherein the display interface updates the representation of the distributed data object store in real-time as data streams generated by the host drivers are received.

Abstract
A data management system that protects data into a continuous object store includes a management interface having a time control. The time control allows an administrator to specify a “past” time, such as a single point or range. When the time control is set to a single point, a hierarchical display of data appears on a display exactly as the data existed in the system at that moment in the past. The time control enables the management interface to operate within a history mode in which the display provides a visual representation of a “virtual” point in time in the past during which the data management system has been operative to provide the data protection service.
