The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Systems and methods for backing up clustered databases such that production backups associated with the clustered databases are restorable with near zero downtime. First data indicative of a backup request of a clustered database is transmitted by a first computing device to a second computing device. The first computing device maps the backup staging disks to each of a plurality of nodes. The second computing device adds the mapped staging disks to a backup staging diskgroup on a primary node. The second computing device mounts the backup staging diskgroup to each of the plurality of nodes. The second computing device executes a full backup from at least one of the plurality of nodes to the backup staging diskgroup. The second computing device transmits a catalog of backup information to a database associated with the first computing device. The first computing device creates a snapshot of the first backup staging disk.”

The patent application was filed on January 12, 2016 (14/993,789).
