OPPORTUNISTIC BACKUPS THROUGH TIME-LIMITED AIRGAP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126657 titled 'OPPORTUNISTIC BACKUPS THROUGH TIME-LIMITED AIRGAP
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for opportunistically transmitting backups through a time-limited air gap. By predicting rates of changes for applications, the system estimates the size of backups and selects at least one to be transmitted to a vault when an air gap is available.
- Predict rates of changes for applications
- Estimate size of backups based on predicted rates
- Select at least one backup to transmit through air gap when available
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in data protection systems, disaster recovery solutions, and secure data transmission processes.
Problems Solved
1. Efficiently transmitting backups through limited time air gaps 2. Predicting backup sizes based on application changes
Benefits
1. Improved data protection and disaster recovery capabilities 2. Enhanced security through air gap transmission 3. Optimal backup selection based on predicted rates of changes
Potential Commercial Applications
"Time-Limited Air Gap Backup Transmission Technology for Data Protection Systems"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional backup systems that do not take into account predicted rates of changes for applications.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle multiple applications with varying rates of changes?
The system could prioritize backups based on the criticality of applications or allocate resources accordingly.
What security measures are in place to protect the transmitted backups through the air gap?
Encryption, authentication protocols, and secure communication channels could be implemented to ensure data security during transmission.
Original Abstract Submitted
opportunistically transmitting backups through a time-limited air gap. a data protection system may predict rates of changes for one or more applications. the predicted rate of change allows a size of corresponding backups to be estimated. if there is time during which an air gap is available (closed), at least of the backups is selected and opportunistically transmitted to a vault through the air gap.
