Backup client agent
One example method includes registering with a long poll cloud service, receiving a notification from the cloud long poll service, and the notification includes information about a restore command, acknowledging receipt of the notification, downloading a restore description to a cloud restore service, performing the restore command, receiving file information in response to performance of the restore command, creating a restore job using the file information, and signaling that the restore command is complete.
1. A method, comprising:
in a client computing system including a backup client agent that is controlled at least in part by one or more services operating in a cloud computing environment, performing, by the backup client agent, operations comprising:
registering with a cloud authorization service, and the registering is performed using a registration code;
registering with a long poll service that is running in the cloud computing environment;
receiving, after the registering with the long poll service, a notification from the long poll service, and the notification includes information about a restore command;
acknowledging, to the long poll service, receipt of the notification;
downloading a restore description to a restore service that is running in the cloud computing environment;
performing the restore command at a direction of the restore service, and performing the restore command comprises: receiving file information from the restore service; and creating a restore job using the file information; and
signaling, to a command and control service running in the cloud computing environment, that the restore command is complete.
2. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising registering with a cloud channel service.
3. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising placing the restore job in a job queue.
4. The method as recited in claim 3 , further comprising making the restore job active.
5. The method as recited in claim 4 , further comprising downloading files identified by the restore job.
6. The method as recited in claim 5 , further comprising a sending a status update during performance of the restore job.
7. The method as recited in claim 5 , further comprising reporting successful, or unsuccessful, conclusion of the restore job.
8. The method as recited in claim 4 , wherein making the restore job active comprises creating a ‘restore start’ event and posting the ‘restore’ start event to the cloud restore service.
9. A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
registering with a cloud authorization service, and the registering is performed using a registration code;
registering with a long poll service that is running in the cloud computing environment;
receiving, after the registering with the long poll service, a notification from the long poll service, and the notification includes information about a restore command;
acknowledging, to the long poll service, receipt of the notification;
downloading a restore description to a restore service that is running in the cloud computing environment;
performing the restore command at a direction of the restore service, and performing the restore command comprises: receiving file information from the restore service; and creating a restore job using the file information; and
signaling, to a command and control service running in the cloud computing environment, that the restore command is complete,
wherein the operations are performed by a backup client agent that is controlled at least in part by one of the services in the group of services running in the cloud computing environment.
10. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 9 , wherein one or more of the operations are performed by a backup client agent.
11. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise registering with a cloud channel service.
12. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise placing the restore job in a job queue.
13. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise making the restore job active.
14. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise downloading files identified by the restore job.
15. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise sending a status update during performance of the restore job.
16. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise reporting successful, or unsuccessful, conclusion of the restore job.
17. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 13 , wherein making the restore job active comprises creating a ‘restore start’ event and posting the ‘restore start’ event to the cloud restore service.
