Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and computer readable media for preventing data loss at ephemeral and/or volatile storage of a local storage system are provided. These techniques may include synchronizing that state of the ephemeral storage system to a cloud-based storage system and capturing a cloud snapshot of the cloud-based storage system. In the event of a failure at the volatile storage, the cloud-based snapshot can be used as a restore point for the cloud-based storage system, the state of which can then be synchronized back to the volatile storage. Additionally, the local storage system includes durable storage for storing transaction logs. After synchronizing the state of the cloud-based storage system to the volatile storage, the local storage system can playback transactions in the transaction log to restore the volatile segment to the state at the time of the failure.
