Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a data processing method, apparatus, device, and medium. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, during data backup tasks, users need to specify the target location for the backup. In most cases, the target location is a directory within the file system. If the target location is a copy volume, the user usually needs to manually specify a target location, and the copy volume will be mounted to this target location under the backup server's file system. After successful mounting, the mount point directory is then entered into the task settings.

[0003] In reality, users often don't care what the mount point directory actually is. As long as the data can be correctly backed up to the replicated volume and restored correctly, the simpler the operation, the better. Currently, the existing operations of mounting the replicated volume, recording the mount point directory, and entering the mount point directory into the data backup task settings are often performed manually by the user. This not only reduces the user experience but also increases the probability of user errors. Summary of the Invention

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," "target," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0027] In one embodiment, Figure 1 This invention provides a flowchart of a data processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations involving data processing. The method can be executed by a data processing device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0028] S110. When a trigger command for a data operation task is detected, the pre-acquired target copy volume is automatically mounted to an available mount point directory.

[0029] In this context, data manipulation tasks can be understood as data backup, data recovery, and other related data operation tasks. The target copy volume can be understood as a pre-acquired and configured target storage space. Automatic mounting can be understood as automatically assigning a drive letter to a pre-configured disk partition. Mounting can be understood as attaching a pre-assigned target copy volume to an existing mount point directory, allowing access to the target copy volume through this mount point directory. Of course, disk partitioning also includes partitioning virtual disks, which can be understood as creating a directory and then using `MOUNT` and the corresponding format parameters to mount the hard drive or partition to a pre-created mount point directory. The mount point directory can be understood as the entry directory of the disk file system in Linux, similar to drive letters like C:, D:, E:, etc., used to access different partitions in Windows. The created directory can be understood as the mount point directory.

[0030] In this embodiment, upon detecting a trigger command for a data operation task, the pre-acquired target copy volume can be automatically mounted to an available mount point directory based on the trigger command for different data operation tasks, such as a data backup task. It should be noted that the pre-acquired target copy volume can be generated based on the preset storage space in the received relevant copy volume creation command, or it can be obtained by receiving copy volume information sent by a web server; this embodiment does not impose any limitations. It should be understood that automatically mounting the target copy volume to an available mount point directory can be understood as automatically specifying an available mount point directory; if the directory does not exist, it is created, and then the pre-acquired target copy volume is automatically mounted to this specified available mount point directory.

[0031] In this embodiment, before performing the mounting action, a unique mount point directory can be automatically generated according to the relevant algorithm and the directory can be created. This ensures that the mount point directory is idle.

[0032] In one embodiment, the data operation task includes one of the following: a data backup task; a data recovery task.

[0033] Data backup is the foundation of disaster recovery. It involves copying all or part of the data set from the application host's hard drive or array to other storage media to prevent data loss due to operational errors or system failures. Data recovery can be understood as the process of retrieving data and restoring information when computer storage media is damaged, resulting in the inaccessibility of some or all data. Data recovery can not only recover lost files but also repair physically damaged disk data.

[0034] In this embodiment, data manipulation tasks may include data backup tasks and / or data recovery tasks. Exemplarily, data manipulation tasks can be applied to tasks in different scenarios. For example, in a hospital scenario, a data backup task may be a registration data backup task; in a community image acquisition scenario, a data backup task may be an image data backup task; and in a teaching scenario, a data backup task may be an audio data backup task. This embodiment does not impose any limitations. A data recovery task may be a task for recovering image data or a task for recovering data documents. This embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0035] In this embodiment, when any trigger command of a data backup task and / or data recovery task is detected, the pre-acquired target copy volume can be automatically mounted to an idle mount point directory according to the trigger command corresponding to the data backup task and / or data recovery task.

[0036] It should be noted that when the trigger command for data backup task and data recovery task is detected, the order in which the data backup task and data recovery task are executed is not important. The data backup task can be executed first and then the data recovery task, or the data recovery task can be executed first and then the data backup task, or the data recovery task and data backup task can be executed simultaneously.

[0037] In one embodiment, the method for determining the target replication volume includes: automatically generating a corresponding target replication volume based on a received replication volume creation instruction; or receiving a target replication volume sent by a web server.

[0038] The copy volume creation command can be understood as the command used to create storage space. A web server, also known as a website server, can be understood as a program residing on a certain type of computer on the Internet. It can handle requests from web clients such as browsers and return corresponding responses; it can also store website files for browsing; and it can store data files for downloading.

[0039] In this embodiment, the web server can provide several web pages, and users can manage the entire data backup system according to these pages, which may include managing the computer nodes in the data backup system.

[0040] In this embodiment, the determination of the target replication volume can include two methods: First, the target replication volume can be automatically generated based on the relevant instructions received during replication volume creation; second, the target replication volume can be obtained by receiving replication volume information sent by the web server. Specifically, the target replication volume can be generated based on the relevant storage capacity carried in the replication volume creation instruction, or all replication volumes mounted on the corresponding backup node can be displayed through the web server's display interface, and free replication volumes can be identified from all replication volumes based on user operations, and the identified free replication volumes can be used as the target replication volume.

[0041] In this embodiment, after determining the target copy volume, the target copy volume can be automatically mounted to an idle mount point directory based on the detected data operation tasks, such as data backup or data recovery tasks. The mount point directory is then loaded into the corresponding original data structure to execute the corresponding data operation tasks.

[0042] In one embodiment, automatically generating a corresponding target replicated volume based on a received replicated volume creation instruction includes:

[0043] Identify and extract the preset storage capacity carried in the received copy volume creation instruction; extract the second storage space corresponding to the preset storage capacity from the first storage space; wherein the storage capacity of the second storage space is less than or equal to the storage capacity of the first storage space;

[0044] Generate the corresponding target copy volume based on the second storage space.

[0045] The preset storage capacity can be understood as the storage capacity of the target replicated volume to be generated. This preset storage capacity includes parameters such as the storage server address and volume space. The first storage space can be understood as the total storage space available for creating the replicated volume, which is also the total space of the storage pool. The second storage space can be understood as the storage space corresponding to the preset storage capacity, which is the allocated space for the target replicated volume. It is known that both the first and second storage spaces have corresponding storage capacities, and the storage capacity of the second storage space is less than or equal to the storage capacity of the first storage space.

[0046] In this embodiment, the pre-set storage capacity carried in the received copy volume creation instruction can be extracted through identification and extraction. A second storage space corresponding to the pre-set storage capacity is then extracted from the first storage space, and a corresponding target copy volume is generated based on the extracted second storage space. It should be noted that the scheme of creating the target copy volume through the copy volume creation instruction can be implemented by a data backup node.

[0047] In one embodiment, the process of determining the target replication volume via a web server includes:

[0048] When the web server detects a target storage location selection instruction corresponding to a data operation task, it displays all the replicated volumes mounted on the corresponding backup node through the web server's display interface.

[0049] In response to the user's selection, identify a free copy volume from all copy volumes to be used as the target copy volume.

[0050] The target storage location can be understood as the storage location corresponding to the data backup and data recovery tasks in the data operation tasks. An idle replication volume can be understood as an unused replication volume.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the web server detects a target storage location selection instruction corresponding to a data operation task, it can display all the replica volumes mounted on the corresponding backup node through the web server's interface. Based on the user's selection, a free replica volume can be identified from all the replica volumes and used as the target replica volume. It should be noted that the scheme of creating the target replica volume through a replica volume creation instruction can be implemented through a web server.

[0052] It should be noted that there is no uniform principle for users to select the copy volume; they can choose according to their needs. For example, a hospital could choose to create a "Registration Data Backup" task to back up all registration data to the first copy volume, and then create an "Imaging Data Backup" task to back up all imaging data to the second copy volume; alternatively, it could choose to create a "Daily Data Backup" task to back up the day's data to copy volume 1, and then use a "Historical Data Backup" task to back up historical data to copy volume 2, and so on. This embodiment does not impose any limitations. Of course, each copy task will include a target copy volume field, which needs to specify a copy volume. Users can create different copy volume data operation tasks as needed, and different copy volume data operations have corresponding target copy volumes, which can be the same copy volume or different copy volumes.

[0053] S120. Load the mount point directory into the corresponding raw data structure to execute the corresponding data operation task.

[0054] The original data structure can be understood as a set of data elements that have one or more relationships with each other, and the relationships between the data elements in the set. In other words, it studies the logical structure, storage structure and operation of data, and can be used to reflect the internal composition of a data.

[0055] In this embodiment, the mount point directory can be loaded into the corresponding original data structure to execute the corresponding data backup and / or data recovery tasks. It should be noted that each data backup / recovery task's data structure contains a data item for the mount point directory.

[0056] In this embodiment, when a trigger command for a data operation task is detected, the corresponding data operation task is executed. For example, when a trigger command for a data backup task is detected, the data backup task is executed. The backup target node can automatically convert the vendor name, the unique identifier of the replicated volume, and the replicated volume name into a mount point directory according to a pre-set conversion method, such as $WORK_DIR / mnt_volumes / $VOLUME_UUID. Then, the obtained mount point directory is filled into the original "mount point directory" data structure of the data backup task, and then the data backup task is executed according to the corresponding process.

[0057] It's important to note that during a data recovery task within a data operation task, the web server interface will list all replicated volumes mounted on the backup node. Users can then select one of these volumes as the data source for the data recovery task based on their needs and the data content stored on the replicated volume. Correspondingly, when executing the data recovery task, the backup node will convert the vendor name, replicated volume identifier, and replicated volume name into a mount point directory according to a pre-set conversion method, filling this information into the corresponding original data structure. Then, the data recovery task will be executed according to the appropriate process. Of course, since the replicated volume has been migrated to a new backup node, even if the original backup node fails, the new backup node can still generate a mount point directory according to the pre-set conversion method. This new mount point directory does not need to be the same as the original node's mount point directory. The new mount point directory will then be set in the task settings for both the data backup and data recovery tasks, and the data backup and data recovery tasks will be executed according to the appropriate process.

[0058] The technical solution of this invention automatically mounts the pre-acquired target copy volume to an idle mount point directory when a trigger command for a data operation task is detected, and loads the mount point directory into the corresponding original data structure to execute the corresponding data operation task. This solves the problem that users need to manually mount the copy volume to the backup server's file system, realizes the automatic creation of directories and automatic mounting of the copy volume to an idle mount point directory, simplifies user operations, improves user experience, and reduces the probability of user errors.

[0059] In one embodiment, Figure 2This is a flowchart of a data processing method provided in one embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment further refines the above embodiments. It should be noted that since the automatically created mount point directory and the mount point directory used when the trigger command for the data operation task is detected can be the same node or different nodes, the execution order of S210 and S230 can be adjusted according to whether they are on the same node. This embodiment takes the case where the automatically created mount point directory and the mount point directory used when the trigger command for the data operation task is detected are the same node, i.e., S210 is executed first and then S230 is executed, as an example.

[0060] It should be noted that this embodiment describes the case where the pre-obtained mount point directory does not exist.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0062] S210. Upon receiving a copy volume creation instruction from the Web server, automatically create a mount point directory according to a preset conversion method.

[0063] In this embodiment, the preset conversion method can be understood as a pre-set conversion method that automatically creates mount point directories. For example, the preset conversion method could be ` / var / $vendor_name / volumes / $replicated_volume_ID`. Here, the "$" symbol represents a specific string. For instance, assuming the vendor name is EMC or Huawei, the replicated volume name is `VOLUME1`, and its corresponding replicated volume identifier is a UUID, and the replicated volume name is `VOLUME2`, the preset conversion method could be represented as ` / var / EMC / volumes / VOLUME1_UUID`, ` / var / Huawei / volumes / VOLUME2_UUID`, etc. Strictly speaking, the last part of the path is the replicated volume identifier, not the replicated volume name.

[0064] In this embodiment, upon receiving a copy volume creation instruction from the web server, a mount point directory can be automatically created according to a pre-set conversion method. Specifically, the system can obtain its own vendor name, copy volume identifier, and copy volume name, etc., and combine these information according to a pre-set conversion method to obtain the corresponding mount point directory.

[0065] It should be noted that when the automatically created mount point directory and the mount point directory used when the trigger command for the data operation task is detected are the same node, the execution order of S230 must be after the execution of S210; when the automatically created mount point directory and the mount point directory used when the trigger command for the data operation task is detected are not the same node, the execution order of S230 and S210 is not important, S230 can be executed first and then S210, or S210 can be executed first and then S230, or S230 and S210 can be executed simultaneously.

[0066] In one embodiment, automatically creating a mount point directory according to a preset conversion method includes:

[0067] Obtain the vendor name to which you belong, as well as the copy volume identifier and copy volume name in the copy volume creation command;

[0068] The manufacturer name, replicated volume identifier, and replicated volume name are combined according to the preset conversion method to obtain the corresponding mount point directory.

[0069] Here, "vendor name" can be understood as the name of the manufacturer; for example, the vendor name could be EMC, Huawei, Apple, etc. "Replicated volume identifier" can also be called the replicated volume ID. It should be noted that the replicated volume identifier is a unique identifier for the replicated volume. For example, the replicated volume identifier can be represented as VOLUME1_UUID or VOLUME2_UUID; this embodiment does not impose any limitations. "Replicated volume name" can be understood as the name corresponding to the replicated volume.

[0070] In this embodiment, the system can obtain its own vendor name, as well as the copy volume identifier and copy volume name from the copy volume creation instruction. The vendor name, copy volume identifier, and copy volume name are then combined according to a pre-set conversion method to obtain the corresponding mount point directory. It should be noted that since the elements that combine to form the mount point directory are unique—that is, the copy volume identifier is the unique identifier of the copy volume—the resulting mount point directory is also unique.

[0071] S220. When a trigger command for a data operation task is detected, the pre-acquired target copy volume is automatically mounted to an available mount point directory.

[0072] S230. Load the mount point directory into the corresponding raw data structure to execute the corresponding data operation task.

[0073] The technical solution described in this embodiment of the invention automatically mounts the pre-acquired target copy volume to an idle mount point directory when a trigger command for a data operation task is detected; the mount point directory is then loaded into the corresponding original data structure to execute the corresponding data operation task. Upon receiving a copy volume creation command from the web server, the mount point directory is automatically created according to a preset conversion method, further realizing automatic directory creation and automatic mounting of the copy volume to an idle mount point directory. This simplifies user operations, improves user experience, and reduces the probability of user errors.

[0074] Of course, if the pre-configured or assembled mount point directory already exists, the mount operation can be performed directly, that is, the target copy volume is mounted to the available mount point directory. The mount operation can be performed once or multiple times; this embodiment does not impose any restrictions. However, the mount point directory creation operation is performed only once.

[0075] In one embodiment, Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another data processing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment can be considered a preferred embodiment to further illustrate a data processing method. This embodiment can be applied to scenarios involving data backup and data recovery, performing automatic mounting and the entire usage process. Figure 3 As shown, the console is the web server in the above embodiment. The specific steps of a data processing method can be as follows:

[0076] S310. Based on the data operation task, list all the replicated volumes mounted on this node for the user to select.

[0077] The data operation tasks include data backup tasks and data recovery tasks. On the console interface, when a user selects the target replication volume for a data backup task, all replication volumes mounted on that node are listed for the user to choose from.

[0078] S320: The console sends the command to mount the replicated volume to the node. The node automatically creates a directory using a preset conversion method and uses it to mount the replicated volume.

[0079] In this embodiment, on the existing console interface, when a user creates a replicated volume, the "mount point" can only be selected from a directory tree on the node. In this embodiment, an "automatic" option is added. If the user selects "automatic," the console will send the instruction to create the replicated volume to the node, and the node will automatically create a directory using a preset conversion method and use it to mount the replicated volume.

[0080] S330. When executing a data backup task, the volume name to be copied is converted into a mount point directory according to a preset conversion method, and the mount point directory is filled into the data structure corresponding to the data backup task to execute the corresponding data operation task.

[0081] The replicated volume name includes the vendor name, replicated volume identifier, and replicated volume name. In this embodiment, when the data backup task is executed, the backup target node will automatically combine the vendor name, replicated volume identifier, and replicated volume name according to a preset conversion method, such as $WORK_DIR / mnt_volumes / $VOLUME_UUID, and convert it into a mount point directory. This directory is then filled into the existing "mount point directory" data structure of the data backup task, which can also be called the corresponding original data structure. After that, the data backup task can be executed according to the existing process.

[0082] S340. When executing a data recovery task, the control machine interface lists all the replicated volumes mounted on the backup node. The user selects one of them as the source replicated volume, converts it into a mount point directory according to a preset conversion method, and stores it in the corresponding data structure to execute the corresponding data recovery task.

[0083] In this embodiment, when restoring data, the control interface will also list all volumes mounted on the backup node, and the user can select one of them as the data source for the restoration task. Correspondingly, when the backup node executes the restoration task, it will combine the vendor name, replicated volume identifier, and replicated volume name according to a preset conversion method, and convert them into a mount point directory, filling in the existing data structure, which can also be called the corresponding original data structure. Then, the data restoration task can be executed according to the existing process.

[0084] It should be noted that even if the backup node fails and the replicated volume is migrated to a new backup node, the new node can still generate a mount point directory according to a preset conversion method. This new directory does not need to be the same as the original node's mount point directory. The new directory is then set in the data backup and data recovery task settings, and the data backup and data recovery tasks are executed according to the existing process. This embodiment of the invention, by converting the volume name and mount point directory within the node logic, solves the problem of users needing to manually mount the replicated volume to the backup server's file system. It automatically creates the directory and automatically mounts the replicated volume to an available mount point directory, simplifying user operations, improving user experience, and reducing the probability of user errors.

[0085] It should be noted that the execution order of S330 and S340 is not important. S330 can be executed first and then S340; or S340 can be executed first and then S330; or S330 and S340 can be executed simultaneously.

[0086] In one embodiment, Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another data processing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the control unit is represented by a web server, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the controller specifies the volume name to be copied, generates a mount point directory according to the preset conversion method, and loads the mount point directory into the corresponding original data structure to execute the corresponding data operation task.

[0087] In one embodiment, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a data processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. This apparatus is suitable for processing data and can be implemented in hardware or software. It can be configured in an electronic device to implement a data processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0089] The loading execution module 520 is used to load the mount point directory into the corresponding original data structure to execute the corresponding data operation task.

[0090] In one embodiment, the data processing apparatus further includes:

[0091] The directory creation module is used to automatically create mount point directories according to a preset conversion method when a copy volume creation instruction is received from the web server.

[0092] In one embodiment, the directory creation module includes:

[0094] The directory acquisition unit is used to combine the vendor name, the replicated volume identifier, and the replicated volume name according to a preset conversion method to obtain the corresponding mount point directory.

[0095] The method for determining the target copy volume includes:

[0096] The corresponding target copy volume is automatically generated based on the received copy volume creation command;

[0097] Alternatively, it can receive the target replicated volume sent by the web server.

[0098] In one embodiment, automatically generating the corresponding target replicated volume according to the received replicated volume creation instruction includes:

[0099] Identify and extract the preset storage capacity carried in the received copy volume creation instruction;

[0100] Extract the second storage space corresponding to the preset storage capacity from the first storage space; wherein the storage capacity of the second storage space is less than or equal to the storage capacity of the first storage space;

[0101] Generate the corresponding target copy volume based on the second storage space.

[0102] In one embodiment, the process of determining the target replication volume via the web server includes:

[0103] When the web server detects a target storage location selection instruction corresponding to a data operation task, it displays all the replicated volumes mounted on the corresponding backup node through the web server's display interface.

[0104] In response to a user selection, an idle copy volume is identified from all the copy volumes to be used as the target copy volume.

[0105] In one embodiment, the data operation task includes one of the following: a data backup task; a data recovery task.
