Client-side deduplication for backup streams in databases
The granted patent US12032449B2 describes a system and method for client-side deduplication of backup streams generated from a client database, specifically an Oracle database. The system comprises two computer hardware components: a first computer that executes processor-executable routines to identify metadata for multiple backup streams and create corresponding empty data files for deduplication. The second computer hardware, implemented at the user device, is responsible for determining unique names for the metadata based on data blocks in the backup streams and facilitating the backup and recovery of these data blocks. The deduplication process utilizes a group of data files stored locally in cache memory.
The unique names for the metadata sets are derived from various identifiers, including a database name, a database ID, and an inode number associated with the backup stream. The system also includes specific routines for reading backup stream blocks to gather necessary information, such as stream block size and the number of meta blocks. This structured approach allows for efficient management of backup data, including data files, archived log files, control files, and sp files, ensuring that the deduplication process is both effective and streamlined.
