Abstract

The present invention provides an offsite backup system, which comprises a first host and a second host. A first combination unit of the first host is used to combine a first snapshot mapping file and a first original mapping file, and thereby generate a first instant mapping file. A first mounting unit of the first host is used to create a first virtual machine according to the first instant mapping file. The second host and the first host are interconnected by the internet. A second combination unit of the second host is used to combine a second snapshot mapping file and a second original mapping file and thereby generate a second instant mapping file. A second mounting unit of the second host is used to create a second virtual machine according to the second instant mapping file. While the first host is on malfunction, the second host will create the second virtual machine simultaneously in order to provide service instead of the first host.

Description

異地備援系統及備份方法 Remote backup system and backup method

本發明關於一種異地備援系統及備份方法,特別是應用在虛擬機器架構。 The invention relates to a remote backup system and a backup method, in particular to a virtual machine architecture.

參考第1圖,繪示習知技術的異地備援系統的架構示意圖。該備援系統10包括一第一主機20、一第二主機30與一共享空間40。該第一主機20包括一第一虛擬機器21與一第一掛載單元22。該第二主機30包括一第一虛擬機器31與一第一掛載單元32。該共享空間40用於存放一完整映像檔41。正常操作情況下,該第一掛載單元22根據該完整映像檔41建立該第一虛擬機器21,用以提供服務。當第一主機20的硬體故障或所在地產生任何可能使該第一主機20無法繼續提供服務的問題(如天災)時,該第二掛載單元32根據該完整映像檔41建立該第二虛擬機器31,該第二虛擬機器31接替該第一虛擬機器21繼續提供服務。然而,該完整映像檔41通常很大,除非網路速度極快,在該第二虛擬機器31建立之前容易產生連接上的問題。因此若是將該第一主機20與該第二主機30設置於地理位置上相對遙遠的兩個地方(需要使用網際網路才能連接的兩個地方),快速的建 立該第二虛擬機器31是一個亟需解決的問題。 Referring to FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of the architecture of a remote backup system of the prior art is shown. The backup system 10 includes a first host 20, a second host 30, and a shared space 40. The first host 20 includes a first virtual machine 21 and a first mount unit 22. The second host 30 includes a first virtual machine 31 and a first mount unit 32. The shared space 40 is used to store a complete image file 41. In the normal operation, the first mounting unit 22 establishes the first virtual machine 21 according to the complete image file 41 to provide a service. When the hardware failure or location of the first host 20 generates any problem that may cause the first host 20 to continue to provide services (such as a natural disaster), the second mounting unit 32 establishes the second virtual image according to the complete image 41. The machine 31, the second virtual machine 31 takes over the first virtual machine 21 to continue providing services. However, the full image 41 is typically large, unless the network is extremely fast, and the connection problem is easily created before the second virtual machine 31 is established. Therefore, if the first host 20 and the second host 30 are placed in two geographically distant places (two places that need to be connected by using the Internet), the rapid construction is completed. Establishing the second virtual machine 31 is an urgent problem to be solved.

為了解決上述問題,本發明的一目的在於提出一種異地備援系統,用於提供快速備份系統。 In order to solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide an off-site backup system for providing a fast backup system.

參考第2圖,繪示一種根據本發明之一較佳實施例的異地備援系統100的架構示意圖。此異地備援系統100包括第 一主機110以及第二主機120,例如各類型的伺服器。 Referring to FIG. 2, a schematic diagram of an architecture of a remote backup system 100 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. This remote backup system 100 includes A host 110 and a second host 120, such as various types of servers.

第一主機110包含第一組合單元112與第一掛載單 元111。第一組合單元112用於組合第一快照映像檔114與第一原始映像檔113產生第一實時映像檔115。第一掛載單元111根據第一實時映像檔115建立第一虛擬機器116。第二主機120與第一主機110透過網路連接。第二主機120包含第二組合單元122與第二掛載單元121。第二組合單元122用於組合第二快照映像檔124與第二原始映像檔123產生第二實時映像檔125。第二掛載單元121根據第二實時映像檔125建立第二虛擬機器126。第一原始映像檔113與第二原始映像檔123是相同的。當第一主機110發生故障時,第二主機120同步建立第二虛擬機器126接替第一主機110提供服務。 The first host 110 includes a first combination unit 112 and a first mount list Yuan 111. The first combination unit 112 is configured to combine the first snapshot image file 114 with the first original image file 113 to generate a first live image file 115. The first mount unit 111 establishes the first virtual machine 116 according to the first live image file 115. The second host 120 is connected to the first host 110 through a network. The second host 120 includes a second combining unit 122 and a second mounting unit 121. The second combining unit 122 is configured to combine the second snapshot image file 124 and the second original image file 123 to generate a second real-time image file 125. The second mount unit 121 establishes the second virtual machine 126 according to the second live image file 125. The first original image file 113 is identical to the second original image file 123. When the first host 110 fails, the second host 120 synchronously establishes the second virtual machine 126 to take over the first host 110 to provide the service.

在本發明中,第一原始映像檔113與第二原始映像 檔123是不會改變的;然而,第一快照映像檔114與第二快照映像檔124的檔案是可改變的。是由於一般而言,當大多數的服務(軟體)架設(安裝)完畢後,大部份的資料(原始映像檔)是不會再改變的,會改變的是對於服務(軟體)的設定的檔案(快照映像檔)。因此本發明就是利用此一特點,將習知技術中一完整映像檔分成原始映像檔與快照映像檔。再透過一全球檔案系統130使第一快照映像檔114與第二快照映像檔124的資料同步,結合快照映像檔的檔案很小的特點,使的第一主機110與第二主機120之間的備份速度能夠更加快速。 In the present invention, the first original image file 113 and the second original image File 123 is not changed; however, the files of first snapshot image 114 and second snapshot image 124 are changeable. Generally speaking, when most services (software) are installed (installed), most of the data (original image files) will not be changed, and the changes will be made to the settings of the service (software). File (snapshot image file). Therefore, the present invention utilizes this feature to divide a complete image file in the prior art into a raw image file and a snapshot image file. Synchronizing the data of the first snapshot image file 114 with the second snapshot image file 124 through a global file system 130, combined with the small file size of the snapshot image file, between the first host 110 and the second host 120 Backup speeds can be faster.

請參考第3圖,係繪示一種根據本發明之一較佳實 施例的異地備援系統的備份方法流程圖。本方法中所使用的元件請參考第2圖所示,不再贅述。 Please refer to FIG. 3, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Flow chart of the backup method of the remote backup system of the embodiment. Please refer to Figure 2 for the components used in this method, and will not be described again.

當第一主機110因為特定原因(硬體故障或天災)而 無法繼續提供服務時,第二主機120可以藉由網路確認第一主機110的狀態。首先,執行步驟S01,第二主機120判斷第一主機110故障。當第一主機110已經被確認是故障後,後續便開始備份的作業。 When the first host 110 is for a specific reason (hardware failure or natural disaster) When the service cannot be continued, the second host 120 can confirm the status of the first host 110 by the network. First, in step S01, the second host 120 determines that the first host 110 is faulty. After the first host 110 has been confirmed to be a failure, the backup job is started.

接著,執行步驟S02,第二組合單元122組合第二 主機120的第二快照映像檔124與第二主機120的第二原始映像檔123。 Next, step S02 is performed, and the second combining unit 122 combines the second The second snapshot image file 124 of the host 120 and the second original image file 123 of the second host 120.

接著,執行步驟S03,第二組合單元122產生一第 二實時映像檔125。 Next, step S03 is performed, and the second combining unit 122 generates a first Two live image files 125.

接著,執行步驟S04,第二掛載單元121根據第二 實時映像檔125建立第二主機120的第二虛擬機器126。 Next, step S04 is performed, and the second mounting unit 121 is configured according to the second The live image file 125 establishes a second virtual machine 126 of the second host 120.

最後,執行步驟S05,第二虛擬機器126取代第一 虛擬機器116繼續提供服務。 Finally, step S05 is performed, and the second virtual machine 126 replaces the first Virtual machine 116 continues to provide services.

綜上所述,本發明透過將一完整映像檔劃分為一 較大的原始映像檔與一較小的快照映像檔,讓不同主機在做備份工作時只需要傳送快照映像檔,即使在網路速度不高的環境,也能夠快速地讓異地的主機快速完成備份工作,接替故障的主機繼續提供服務。 In summary, the present invention divides a complete image into one Larger original image files and a smaller snapshot image file allow different hosts to transfer snapshot images only when doing backup work, even in environments with low network speeds, they can quickly complete remote hosts. Backup work, the host that takes over the failure continues to provide services.

以上僅是本發明的較佳實施方式,應當指出,對 於熟悉本技術領域的技術人員,在不脫離本發明原理的前提下,還可以做出若干改進和潤飾,這些改進和潤飾也應視為本發明的保護範圍。 The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it should be noted that A number of modifications and refinements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the invention, and such modifications and refinements are also considered to be within the scope of the invention.
