Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods that manage machine backups, including the creation of virtual machine packages sufficient to instantiate virtual machines corresponding to the backups. In one aspect, a compute infrastructure includes many machines, which may be either physical or virtual. From time to time, snapshots of the states of these target machines are pulled and saved. Virtual machine packages corresponding to these snapshots are also created. A virtual machine package can be used to instantiate a virtual machine (VM) emulating the target machine with the saved state on a destination virtual machine platform. At some point, the initial VM package for a target machine is created by converting the snapshot to a VM package. However, this may take a long time. Later VM packages can instead be created by updating a prior VM package according to differences between the corresponding snapshots, rather than performing the full conversion process.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein the creating the second VM package comprises:\n creating a second storage volume on the destination VM platform based on the first storage volume; and updating the second storage volume according to differences between the first snapshot and the second snapshot.
