SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR LEVERAGING BACKUP METADATA TO PROVIDE GRANULAR OPTIONS FOR DATA PROTECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17721396 Titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR LEVERAGING BACKUP METADATA TO PROVIDE GRANULAR OPTIONS FOR DATA PROTECTION'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method for performing a backup of a file system. The method involves obtaining metadata associated with the target file system, processing the metadata to determine protected and unprotected data, generating a backup history dataset, generating a protection status for each data, creating a graphical user interface (GUI) to display the data and protection status, and displaying the GUI to the user on a computing device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for performing a backup includes: obtaining a file system backup metadata associated with a target file system of a target production host; processing the file system backup metadata to determine protected data and unprotected data in the target file system; after processing the file system backup metadata, using the file system backup metadata to generate a backup history dataset for the target file system; generating a protection status for each data in the target file system based on the backup history dataset and the determined protected data and unprotected data of the target file system; generating a graphical user interface (GUI) for the target file system showing the data of the target file system along with the protection status of each of the data of the target file system; and displaying, on a display of a computing device and to a user, the GUI.
