MANAGEMENT METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND MANAGEMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045773 titled 'MANAGEMENT METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND MANAGEMENT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The management apparatus described in this patent application is a system that stores restoration rules and backup configuration information. It performs various processes such as specifying restoration target data, selecting restoration rules, and generating restoration patterns based on the selected rules.
- The management apparatus includes a storage device that stores restoration rules and backup configuration information.
- The system allows users to specify restoration target data.
- It selects a specific restoration rule from the stored restoration rules.
- By referring to the backup configuration information, the system generates a restoration configuration for the specified restoration target data.
- The restoration configuration ensures that the backup source becomes the copy destination and the backup destination becomes the copy source.
- The system generates a restoration pattern for the restoration target data based on the selected restoration rule.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Data backup and restoration systems: This technology can be used in systems that backup and restore data, ensuring that the backup source and destination are properly configured.
- Disaster recovery: The management apparatus can be used in disaster recovery systems to quickly restore data to its original state.
- Data migration: This technology can be applied in systems that migrate data from one location to another, ensuring that the data is copied correctly.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures data integrity: The restoration rules and configuration information ensure that data is copied accurately during the restoration process.
- Simplifies restoration configuration: The system automates the generation of restoration configurations, reducing the manual effort required.
- Reduces the risk of data loss: By properly configuring the backup source and destination, the system minimizes the risk of data loss during restoration.
Benefits of this technology:
- Time-saving: The automated generation of restoration configurations and patterns saves time compared to manual configuration.
- Improved data accuracy: By following the specified restoration rules, the system ensures that data is copied accurately.
- Enhanced data protection: The proper configuration of backup source and destination reduces the risk of data loss during restoration.
Original Abstract Submitted
a management apparatus including a storage device configured to store restoration rules which define a plurality of patterns relating to the restoration in a restoration configuration indicating a copy source and a copy destination of the data, and backup configuration information relating to the backup source and the backup destination of the data, the management apparatus executes: specification processing of specifying restoration target data; selection processing of selecting a specific restoration rule from the restoration rules; and generation processing of generating, by referring to the backup configuration information, in a restoration configuration of the restoration target data in which the backup source of the restoration target data specified by the specification processing is the copy destination and the backup destination of the restoration target data is the copy source, a restoration pattern of the restoration target data in accordance with the specific restoration rule selected by the selection processing.
