Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for diagnosing problems of data source protection and data source recovery. SOLUTION: The method comprises diagnosing a copy of data positioned at a storage location and diagnosing a temporary version of the copy of the data. Based on the diagnosis, it is determined whether or not an error or alert has been detected. If either the error or alert has been detected, an answer accompanied with a suggested problem solving method is provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for creating an archive protection plan for archiving the backup of data. SOLUTION: An instruction of an archive data protection kind and archive data protection duration are received. Upon to receiving the archive data protection kind and the archive data protection duration, an archive schemer is determined and an archive protection plan representative of the archive schemer is generated.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To offer a method and a system to back up and restore data. SOLUTION: At first, full backup is carried out and a full data set is created. Then an increment or difference data set can be created by increment or difference back up respectively. When a new full data set is required, the new full data set can be created by combining a former full data set and a subsequent increment or difference data set instead of carrying out the full backup. This new full data set can be created on computers other than the computer which stored the data of the former full data set. The new full data set can be used for an off-site storage, namely in order to restore data quickly when failure or a crash of a computer file system is occurred. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data protective application. SOLUTION: The data protective application includes a job to provide data protection. The job includes a plurality of tasks constituted to execute the job. The job also includes a task executor to manage progress of the plurality of tasks. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
A method and system for backing up and restoring data. First, a full backup is performed to create a full dataset. Thereafter, incremental or differential datasets may be created by incremental or differential backups, respectively. When a new full dataset is needed, instead of performing a full backup, a previous full dataset may be combined with subsequent incremental or differential datasets to create the new full dataset. The new full dataset may be created on a computer other than the computer which hosts the data of the previous full dataset. The new full dataset may be used for offsite storage or to quickly restore data in the event of a failure or corruption of a computer's file system.
Abstract:
A method executed by a computer system, the method comprising: creating and maintaining a shadow copy of a volume that has multiple files, the shadow copy of the volume including a first full dataset, wherein the shadow copy is a logical duplicate of the volume at a point in time, wherein the first full dataset includes metadata and data for all files and directories on the volume, and wherein creating the shadow copy includes storing it on one or more computer storage media; creating a second full dataset of the volume and storing it on one or more computer storage media, wherein the second full dataset includes metadata and data for all files and directories on the volume; overwriting the first full dataset with the second full dataset while the shadow copy is maintained; deleting the second full dataset; renaming the first full dataset as the second full dataset; and accessing the first full dataset via the shadow copy.
Abstract:
A data protection application if provided. The data protection application includes a job for providing protection to data. That job contains a plurality of tasks configured to perform the job. Also included is a task executor for managing the progress of each of the plurality of tasks.

Abstract:
A method for diagnosing problems with protection of a data source and recovery of the same. The method includes diagnosing a copy of data located at the storage location and diagnosing a temporal version of the copy of data. Based on the diagnosis it is determined whether an error or a warning was detected. If either were detected a response is provided with a suggested solution.
