A database management system ensures consistency between primary and mirrored backup copies of a database, despite occurrence of a suspending condition interrupting the normal process of mirroring the primary database. One or more primary controllers are provided, each having a data storage unit with multiple primary data storage devices. Multiple secondary controllers each have multiple associated secondary data storage devices, each secondary controller being coupled to one primary controller. One or more primary databases reside on the primary devices, with a corresponding number of secondary databases residing on the secondary devices. Each secondary database mirrors a corresponding primary database. Either a host, attached to a primary controller, or one of the primary controllers itself, maintains a map cross-referencing each primary and secondary database with the primary and secondary devices containing portions thereof. If a predefined "suspending condition" affecting data mirroring occurs, the host or primary controller consults its map to identify all primary and secondary devices affected by the condition. Then, each primary controller stops all ongoing and future read/writes with each of its affected primary devices. Each primary controller also directs each secondary controller having an affected secondary device to stop mirroring the primary databases stored on that device. Then, the primary controller starts intermediate change recording and resumes read/writes with its primary devices. When the suspending condition ends, each primary controller applies the appropriate logged changes to its secondary database(s) and then reactivates each secondary database.

A system for automated installation and maintenance of databases. One or more embodiments provide a user interface (or wizard) that obtains information from a user regarding aspects of the network environment and application data requirements. Using the information obtained from the user, a sizing process builds a database, or resizes an existing database, to efficiently match the needs of the user. An automated maintenance process self monitors, diagnoses, and fixes database problems, such as by rebuilding table keys and indexes. When the diagnostic cannot fix a problem, appropriate notification takes place. In one embodiment, the user information is processed using sizing formulas to obtain values for building the database. Database scripts and command files are generated which, when executed, build the appropriately configured database. Also, in accordance with the user information, scripts and command files may be generated that will implement a database backup process upon a user-specified schedule.

A method and system are provided to enable restoration of a base table and associated catalog table from a database.

A method for performing a consistency check on a database backup of a database is performed without requiring a full recovery of the original database from the database backup. Instead, a database view may be used as a smaller storage requirement tool for providing a transaction-consistent view of portions of an existing full database backup. The database view, in combination with the database backup and transaction log, contains all the information necessary to perform a consistency check on the database backup without a full reconstitution of the original database from the database backup. The consistency check may be run on the database view along with the database backup to verify the integrity of the full database backup to add improved reliability to a database recovery scheme.

A system, method, and medium for performing incremental backups of a Microsoft SQL server database. A snapshot of the database is created, and then a map identifying the changed extents is retrieved from the snapshot. The changed extents are then retrieved from the snapshot and stored in a backup storage device. For a restore operation, a full database backup file is written to a storage device and then the changed extents from a stored incremental backup file may be merged with the full backup file. Next, the database server is notified of the reconstructed file and then the reconstructed file is mounted by the database server as a live instance of the database.

The invention relates to the recovery of data in a database of database records, following a failure of a media containing said database.

An apparatus, system, and method for creating a database backup schedule in a SAN environment based on a recovery plan. A user provides a desired recovery point objective (RPO) from a system recovery plan and an identifier of a database for back up. The present invention determines a priority (w) for a recent recovery point and determines a number (N) of volumes for storing backup images and a number (n) of database volumes used by the database. The present invention generates a scheduling formula where RPO is divided by the priority (w) of the most recent recovery point raised to the power of the truncated integer value of the ratio of volumes for storing backup images (N) and the number of volumes in use by the database (n) minus a scheduling interval determinant (i). The scheduling formula is used to determine a backup interval and backup assurance points.

A system and method for managing data in a computer system. A backup server is configured to harvest data indicative of logical relationships among data entries in a backup data set.
