- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17827461 Titled 'METHOD, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR DELETING BACKUP DATA'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method, electronic device, and computer program for deleting backup data. The method involves determining non-backup time periods for an object based on backup time periods. A subset of non-backup time periods is selected based on their length, and backup data for the object is deleted during these selected time periods. This approach improves the success rate of deleting unnecessary backup data.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for deleting backup data. The method includes determining a set of non-backup time periods for an object based on a set of backup time periods for the object. The method further includes selecting a subset of non-backup time periods from the set of non-backup time periods on the basis of a time length. The method further includes deleting backup data of the object in the subset of non-backup time periods. By the embodiments of the present disclosure, a suitable time period can be selected, and unnecessary backup data is effectively deleted from the selected time period, thus improving the success rate of deletion of backup data.
