Backup validation

Abstract: A system for storage of user access information is described. The user access information is used for validating a user for access data on a computer server over a network. The system may comprise an encryption module for encrypting the user access information using a function that includes data from a system from which the user has accessed the computer server as an input to generate enhanced security user access data and a storage module for storing the enhanced security user access data.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing system resources allocated for backup validation may include (1) identifying a computing system that is to be backed up, (2) monitoring at least one resource of the computing system in order to determine to what extent the resource is utilized, (3) identifying a minimum utilization level of the resource, (4) determining an amount of the resource required to validate a backup of the computing system, (5) configuring a validation system to validate the backup of the computing system, wherein resources of the validation system are allocated based at least in part on the amount of the resource required to validate the backup of the computing system, and (6) using the validation system to validate the backup of the computing system in order to reduce backup-validation resource consumption. Various additional methods, systems, and encoded computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and a backup system are provided The backup system obtains a first backup image of a first virtual desktop image of a VDI system The backup system initiates a first validation of the first backup image against one or more constraints of the first backup image The backup system initiates an alert procedure when the first validation has failed

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a backup validation engine. The backup validation engine comprises: a plurality of data sources comprising a central asset repository; a central repository of backups data; a central repository of network attached storage, a central application portfolio repository; and central repository of tape backup data; an interface user interface; and a data mapping processor, coupled to the plurality of data sources and interactive user interface, programmed to: access data from each of the plurality of data sources; map data from the plurality of data sources; identify performance issues comprising: duplicate host policies, hosts back-up, missing backup of hosts, duplicate NAS policies, NAS volume backup, and missing NAS backup; generate a backup validation plan to address one or more performance issues; and automatically initiate the backup validation plan.
