SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR DETERMINING AND APPLYING A BACKUP FILE ATTRIBUTION TO FILES IN AN ELECTRONIC NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18112700 titled 'SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR DETERMINING AND APPLYING A BACKUP FILE ATTRIBUTION TO FILES IN AN ELECTRONIC NETWORK

The abstract describes a system for determining and applying a backup file attribution to files in an electronic network. The system generates file attributes based on the type of file and its data, specifically creating backup file attributes for tape files and non-backup file attributes for other file types.

  • System for determining and applying backup file attribution to files in an electronic network
  • Generates file attributes based on file type and data content
  • Creates backup file attributes for tape files
  • Generates non-backup file attributes for non-tape file types
  • Considers backup features in file data to determine attribution

Potential Applications: - Data backup and recovery systems - File management in electronic networks - Data storage optimization

Problems Solved: - Efficiently categorizing files based on backup status - Streamlining data management processes - Enhancing data security and redundancy

Benefits: - Improved organization of files in electronic networks - Enhanced data protection through backup attributions - Simplified data recovery processes

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Data Backup and Management System" This technology can be utilized by data storage companies, cloud service providers, and IT departments in various industries to streamline file management processes, improve data security, and optimize data storage resources.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to data backup systems, file management software, and data attribution technologies to gain a deeper understanding of the innovation described in this patent application.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers in the field of data management and storage technologies may provide insights into the latest advancements in backup systems, file attribution methods, and data recovery solutions. Stay updated on industry trends and innovations to enhance the effectiveness of this technology.

Questions about the System for Determining and Applying Backup File Attribution: 1. How does the system differentiate between tape files and non-tape files for generating file attributes? - The system analyzes the file type and data content to determine whether to create backup or non-backup file attributes. 2. What are the key benefits of using backup file attributions in electronic networks? - Backup file attributions help improve data organization, enhance data security, and simplify data recovery processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for determining and applying a backup file attribution to files in an electronic network. The present invention is configured to receive data associated with at least one file, wherein the file is stored in at least one data store; and generate at least one file attribute for the file, wherein, in an instance where the file is a tape file type, generate a backup file attribute, wherein, in an instance where the file is not a tape file type, generate a non-backup file attribute, wherein, in an instance where the file is not a type file type and the file comprises a backup feature in the data, generate the backup file attribute, or wherein, in an instance where the file is a tape file type and the file comprises a non-backup feature in the data, generate the non-backup file attribute.
