Multi-threaded transaction log for primary and restore/intelligence

摘要

A unified system provides primary storage and in-line analytics-based data protection. Additional data intelligence and analytics gathered on protected data and prior analytics are stored in discovery points. The disclosed system implements multi-threaded log writes across primary and restore nodes with write gathering across file systems; nested directories such as may be used for storing virtual machine files, where every subdirectory has an associated file system for snapshot purposes; and cloning objects on demand with background metadata and data migration.
