The processing device is also configured to select a snapshot to be copied from the local snapshot lineage to the cloud snapshot lineage, and to copy the selected snapshot by copying data stored in the local snapshot lineage to a checkpointing cache and, responsive to determining that the copied data in the checkpointing cache has reached a specified checkpoint size, moving the copied data from the checkpointing cache to the cloud storage. The processing device is further configured to maintain, in the checkpointing cache, checkpointing information utilizable for pausing and resuming copying of the selected snapshot from the local snapshot lineage to the cloud snapshot lineage."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Pausing and resuming copying of snapshots from a local snapshot lineage to at least one cloud snapshot lineage","description":"An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to identify a snapshot lineage comprising (i) a local snapshot lineage stored on a storage system and (ii) a cloud snapshot lineage stored on clou","keywords":[]},"attribution":{"source":"Patentable","source_url":"https://patentable.app","canonical_url":"https://patentable.app/patents/US-11288134","license":"CC-BY-4.0-like","license_terms":"AI-generated analysis on this page (summary, layman_explanation, technical_analysis, business_analysis, faqs) may be reused with attribution and a visible link back to the canonical URL above.
