ATTRIBUTE BASED ASSET DISCOVERY FOR INTELLIGENT PROTECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111715 titled 'ATTRIBUTE BASED ASSET DISCOVERY FOR INTELLIGENT PROTECTION
Simplified Explanation
The invention described in the abstract relates to methods and systems for backing up user-defined logical assets based on predefined rules, filters, or attributes of files and folders in a file system.
- User-defined logical assets can be defined by the user based on specific criteria.
- The system utilizes file-system meta-data to quickly identify files and folders that meet the criteria of the defined logical asset type.
- This allows for efficient backup of user-defined assets with minimal additional workload on the system components.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in data backup and recovery systems, cloud storage services, and enterprise data management solutions.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient backup of user-defined logical assets without the need for manual intervention. 2. Quick identification of files and folders that meet specific criteria for backup.
Benefits
1. Streamlined backup processes for users. 2. Reduced workload on production hosts and backup components. 3. Improved data management and organization.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Data Backup with User-Defined Logical Assets"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to file backup systems that utilize predefined rules or filters for selecting files for backup. However, the specific approach of allowing users to define logical asset types based on file attributes may be a novel aspect of this invention.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology ensure data security during the backup process?
The article does not address the specific security measures implemented to protect user-defined logical assets during the backup process.
Can this system be integrated with existing backup solutions?
The article does not mention the compatibility or integration capabilities of this technology with other backup systems or software.
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for backing up user defined logical assets. in accordance with one or more embodiments, a user may define a logical asset type prior to a backup being performed. the user may define the logical asset type based on any rules, filters, or attributes of files and/or folders stored in a file system. once the user has defined the asset type, the system may utilize file-system meta-data to quickly ascertain which files and folders meet the definition of the logical asset type, allowing for the backup of the user defined asset to be performed with minimal additional workload by the production hosts, clients, backup agents, and other associated components of the system.
