Assignee:

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 2, 714 6

Abstract:

Systems and methods for backing up or restoring interdependent applications. During a backup or recovery process, the writers and writer components included in the backup groupings of a client are displayed. Some of the writers and writer components can be individually selected for backup or recovery. Some of the writer components may have a dependency on a writer component in another writer. The dependency is automatically selected, although a user can disable the automatic selection of the dependency or deselect the dependency. The dependency is then backed up or recovered along with the selected writers and selected writer components.

International Classification:

US Classification:

711162, 711112

Abstract:

Systems and methods for backing up and/or restoring data. When a backup operation is initiated, systems and methods are provided for creating a single snapshot of the backup items, including backup groupings. The single snapshot is used by a backup/recovery application to perform a save process on each backup grouping. By using the same snapshot, the backup is performed based on the same point in time so that the backed up data across the client system is consistent and synchronized. When a recovery operation is initiated, recovery items (e. g. , backup groupings, writers and writer components) are selected from backup groupings of the client.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 7, 726 19

Abstract:

A collection of multiple user credentials each associated with one of multiple different users is obtained at a device, and one or more of the multiple user credentials are verified. The collection of multiple user credentials is also compared to a threshold combination of user credentials to be satisfied to access the resource, and a determination is made, based on the comparing and the verifying, as to whether access to the resource is permitted. An indication of whether access to the resource by a requesting user is permitted is returned or provided to another device.

US Classification:

Abstract:

Systems and methods for backing up data of a client. In a system that includes clients in communication with a server, the data of the client is backed up by first enumerating writers that are active on a client. Metadata from the active writers is received and identifies data to be backed up. A snapshot of the client is taken and the client data identified in the metadata received from the writers is backed up from the snapshot.

International Classification:

US Classification:

714002000

Abstract:

Systems and methods for recovering data from a backup copy and for backing up data. When a recovery operation is initiated, recovery items are selected from backup groupings of the client. The recovery items can include backup groupings, writers, and writer components. After the recovery items are selected, backed up metadata for each selected writer is retrieved from the backed up data. The backed up metadata is then queried to identify the restore method of the writer. The data of the client is then recovered by implementing the restore method included in the backed up metadata of the writer. During a backup operation, some of the backup groupings, as well as the content of the backup groupings, can be individually selected for backup. In both backup and recovery, a visual indication may be provided to identify individual selectability.
