Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media can present improved data backup of data servers, including Microsoft Exchange servers. Embodiments can provide backup of a data server using a backup application, where the backup application can send a request to the data server for data to backup and receive a first set of backup data from the data server. The backup application can also send a request to the data server for backup data criteria and receive backup data criteria from the data server. The backup application may apply the backup data criteria to the first set of data to create a second set of backup data that is new, non-duplicated data sending the second set of backup data to a storage device, thus saving storage space, backup time, and network bandwidth.

Claims (38)

1 . A computer-implemented method for backup of a data server, the method comprising:

sending a request to the data server for data to backup;

receiving a first set of backup data from the data server, the first set of backup data comprising database and log file information;

sending a request to the data server for backup data criteria;

receiving backup data criteria from the data server, wherein the backup data criteria comprises log file ranges that refine the first set of backup data;

applying the backup data criteria to the first set of backup data to reduce the size of the first backup data to create a second set of backup data; and

sending the second set of backup data to a storage device.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data server takes a snapshot of data stored, and wherein the first set of data comprises data from the snapshot.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising sending the data server a request to take the snapshot.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of backup data further comprises a set of log files.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising sorting the set of log files by an identifier unique to each log file in the set of log files.

6 . (canceled)

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the backup data criteria further comprises a minimum and a maximum value.

8 . A computer program product for backup of a data server, comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer-readable program code embodied therein, the computer-readable program code adapted to be executed by one or more processors to implement a method comprising:

sending a request to the data server for data to backup;

receiving a first set of backup data from the data server, the first set of backup data comprising database and log file information;

sending a request to the data server for backup data criteria;

receiving backup data criteria from the data server, wherein the backup data criteria comprises log file ranges that refine the first set of backup data;

applying the backup data criteria to the first set of backup data to reduce the size of the first backup data to create a second set of backup data; and

sending the second set of backup data to a storage device.

9 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the data server takes a snapshot of data stored, and wherein the first set of data comprises data from the snapshot.

10 . The computer program product of claim 9 , further comprising sending the data server a request to take the snapshot.

11 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the first set of backup data further comprises a set of log files.

12 . (canceled)

13 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the backup data criteria further comprises a minimum and a maximum value.

14 . A system for backup of a data server comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium and a processor configured to:

send a request to the data server for data to backup;

receive a first set of backup data from the data server, the first set of backup data comprising database and log file information;

send a request to the data server for backup data criteria;

receive backup data criteria from the data server, wherein the backup data criteria comprises log file ranges that refine the first set of backup data;

apply the backup data criteria to the first set of backup data to reduce the size of the first backup data to create a second set of backup data; and

send the second set of backup data to a storage device.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the data server takes a snapshot of data stored, and wherein the first set of data comprises data from the snapshot.

16 . The system of claim 15 , further comprising sending the data server a request to take the snapshot.

17 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the first set of backup data further comprises a set of log files.

18 . The system of claim 17 , further comprising sorting the set of log files by an identifier unique to each log file in the set of log files.

19 . (canceled)

20 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the backup data criteria further comprises a minimum and a maximum value.
