Abstract

The distributed computing backup and recovery (DCBR) system and method provide backup and recovery for distributed computing models (e.g., NoSQL). The DCBR system extends the protections from server node-level failure and introduces persistence in time so that the evolving data set may be stored and recovered to a past point in time. The DCBR system, instead of performing backup and recovery for an entire dataset, may be configured to apply to a subset of data. Instead of keeping or recovering snapshots of the entire dataset which requires the entire cluster, the DCBR system identifies the particular nodes and/or archive files where the dataset resides so that backup or recovery may be done with a much smaller number of nodes.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A method for distributed computing backup and recovery, comprising:
retrieving at least one user selectable preference;
identifying a first subset of data from within a data set according to the at least one user selectable preference, the first subset of data containing less than all of the data in the data set wherein the first subset is selectable by using the user selectable preference;
receiving, into a memory via an interface controlled by a processor…
