Veeam Software Assigned Patent

Veeam Software AG, Baar, Switzerland, has been assigned a patent (10,007,447) developed by Gostev, Anton, and Baranov, Alexander, Saint-Petersburg, Russia , for a “systems, methods, and computer program products for low impact backup.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Embodiments include methods, systems, and computer program products for low impact image level backup and replication of data between a production data storage and a backup data storage. In an embodiment system, the system starts processing of a task to backup or recover data between the production data storage and the backup data storage. The system measures a latency to access the production data storage. The system then determines whether the latency is above a throttling threshold. When the system determines that the latency exceeds the throttling threshold, the system calculates a throttling value, determines an amount of the delay based on the calculated throttling value, and delays, by the determined amount, the processing of the next data block.”

The patent application was filed on August 12, 2015 (14/824,721).
