ENHANCED PRIORITIZATION ON DATA PROTECTION ASSETS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18159049 titled 'ENHANCED PRIORITIZATION ON DATA PROTECTION ASSETS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for prioritizing data assets for backup operations based on certain characteristics and metadata modifiers.
- Determines base priority of data assets operated on by the backup system
- Prioritizes data assets using priority tagging, grouping factors, and metadata modifiers
- Further prioritizes tied assets based on other attributes
- Performs priority response actions such as notifying the user based on asset prioritization
- Performs backup/restore operations in an order based on final prioritization values
Key Features and Innovation:
- Determining base priority of data assets
- Prioritizing data assets using various factors
- Performing priority response actions based on asset prioritization
- Performing backup/restore operations in a prioritized order
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries such as IT, data management, and cybersecurity for efficient backup and restore operations.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of efficiently prioritizing data assets for backup operations, ensuring critical data is protected in a timely manner.
Benefits:
- Improved data protection
- Efficient backup and restore operations
- Prioritization of critical data assets
- Enhanced cybersecurity measures
Commercial Applications: Title: Data Protection Method for Efficient Backup Operations This technology can be commercially used by IT companies, data management firms, and cybersecurity providers to streamline backup processes and enhance data security measures.
Questions about Data Protection Method for Efficient Backup Operations: 1. How does this technology prioritize data assets for backup operations? 2. What are the key factors considered in determining the priority of data assets for backup?
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments for a data protection method of prioritizing data assets for backup operations. A base priority of data assets operated on by the backup system is first determined as defined by certain characteristics, along a defined scale. The process then prioritizes certain data assets using priority tagging, grouping factors, and metadata modifiers to generate an interim net priority. If any assets have the same prioritization value, other asset attributes are used to further prioritize any tied assets. The process then performs a priority response action, such as notifying the user (normally or urgently) based on the asset prioritization. The backup/restore operations are then performed on the data assets in an order based on the final prioritization values.
