  • Improved Open Source Backup: Incorporating Inline Deduplication and Sparse Indexing Solutions
    UNIVERSITY OF HERTFORDSHIRE Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences 7COM0177 Computer Science MSc Project (Online) Final Report January 2014 Improved Open Source Backup: Incorporating inline deduplication and sparse indexing solutions G. P. E. Keeling Abstract This paper investigates whether incorporating inline deduplication techniques can improve open source backup offerings, and whether 'sparse indexing' is an effective solution to the disk deduplication bottleneck. Problems with an existing open source cross-platform network backup solution were identified, along with how it compares to other open source backup solutions, and a literature search and review of relevant algorithms and techniques was performed. A new backup engine was designed and implemented, using Agile methodology and ideas garnered from the research. A test procedure was produced and executed, and the results empirically show that the new software is either superior or comparable to its 'competition' in terms of speed, storage space, storage nodes, and network utilisation. These improvements came at the cost of increased memory utilisation, which was then partially mitigated by implementing 'sparse indexing'. There are some suggestions for further improvement and extra work to be done before an initial release. The paper ends with some conclusions and an evaluation of the project as a whole. Acknowledgements I would like to thank all the users of the original 'burp', all around the world. Contents Page Abstract Acknowledgements 1 Introduction 2 2 Software

  • Scalability of Distributed Version Control Systems Michael J. Murphy
    Scalability of Distributed Version Control Systems Michael J. Murphy John Markus Bjørndalen Otto J. Anshus November 2017 Abstract Distributed version control systems are popular for storing source code, but they are notoriously ill suited for storing large binary files. We report on the results from a set of experiments designed to characterize the behavior of some widely used distributed version control systems with respect to scaling. The experiments measured commit times and repository sizes when storing single files of increasing size, and when storing increasing numbers of single-kilobyte files. The goal is to build a distributed storage system with characteristics similar to version control but for much larger data sets. An early prototype of such a system, Distributed Media Versioning (DMV), is briefly described and compared with Git, Mercurial, and the Git-based backup tool Bup. We find that processing large files without splitting them into smaller parts will limit maximum file size to what can fit in RAM. Storing millions of small files will result in inefficient use of disk space. And storing files with hash-based file and directory names will result in high-latency write operations, due to having to switch between directories rather than performing a sequential write. The next-phase strategy for DMV will be to break files into chunks by content for de-duplication, then re-aggregating the chunks into append-only log files for low-latency write operations and efficient use of disk space. 1 Introduction The CAP-theorem [9] states that a distributed system cannot be completely consistent (C), available (A), and tolerant of network partitions (P) all at the same time.

His persistence in the path of seeking the truth inspired me when I was frustrated. He is not only a knowledgeable mentor for academia, but also a kind and generous elder who impacts my career. With his continuous research enthusiasm for more than 10 years, the MIST lab been widely known for original ideas and unconventional research fruits under his supervision. I am also very grateful to Prof. Fisher, Prof. Brockmeyer, and Prof. Jiang, who serve as the committee members and give valuable suggestions on the prospectus and finally finishing the dissertation. They showed me what an excellent researcher, advisor, and educator could be. I am also thankful to Dr. Arnetz and Dr. Wiholm for their kindly support on SPA project and help for viewing problems other than from computer science. In addition, I am also thankful to all my colleagues in the MIST Lab, LAST group, especially Guoxing Zhan, Tung Nguyen, Hui Chen, who broadened my horizon by viewing problems from different aspects. Guoxing set an excellent example for the MIST group and I hope his spirit will inspire every generation of the group.
