VALUE-DRIVEN PRIORITIZATION OF BACKUPS THROUGH TIME-LIMITED AIRGAP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937981 titled 'VALUE-DRIVEN PRIORITIZATION OF BACKUPS THROUGH TIME-LIMITED AIRGAP

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for prioritizing and backing up data at a production site to a storage vault when a certain threshold priority is met and an air gap is closed between the two locations.

  • Assign priority to a portion of a dataset at a production site
  • Check if priority meets or exceeds a threshold
  • Close air gap between production site and storage vault
  • Backup portion of dataset to storage vault through closed air gap

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in industries where data backup and security are critical, such as healthcare, finance, and government sectors.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently and securely backing up data from a production site to a storage vault when specific criteria are met.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved data backup processes, enhanced data security, and streamlined operations at production sites.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Data Backup and Security Technology for Production Sites: Enhancing Data Protection and Efficiency"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be traditional data backup methods that do not involve the concept of closing an air gap between production sites and storage vaults.

Original Abstract Submitted

One example method includes assigning, at a production site, a priority to a portion of a dataset to be backed up, checking to determine if the priority meets or exceeds a threshold priority; and, when the priority meets or exceeds the threshold priority, and when an air gap between the production site and a storage vault is closed, backing up, by way of the closed air gap, the portion of the dataset to the storage vault.
