AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current methods lack a convenient way to visualize differences between primary and replica storage systems, especially in asynchronous copying scenarios, which can lead to costly downtime and inefficient decision-making during storage system failures.

Method used

A method and system for generating a file system differential visualization that highlights differences between primary and secondary data sets using visual distinction indicators for modified and unmodified files, allowing sorting by file attributes and priority status.

Benefits of technology

Enables quick and informed decisions during storage system failures, reducing overhead and conserving computational resources by providing a comprehensive view of data set differences, thus improving processing efficiency and data management.

Abstract

This disclosure pertains to the differential visualization of archival systems. It can receive a primary dataset and a secondary dataset. A difference between the primary and secondary datasets can be determined. It can be determined that a condition for differential visualization of archival systems is met. This difference between the primary and secondary datasets can be visualized within a differential visualization representation of an archival system.
