ENABLING RECOVERY OF CORRUPTED BACKUPS USING BACKUP COPIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111636 titled 'ENABLING RECOVERY OF CORRUPTED BACKUPS USING BACKUP COPIES

Simplified Explanation

The invention described in the abstract relates to generating backups of assets, with a focus on storing multiple copies of a backup in separate locations for increased resilience to attacks and system failures.

  • Multiple copies of a backup are stored in separate locations.
  • Copies can be used for restoration in case of corruption.
  • Allows for partial restoration if all copies are corrupted.
  • Increases resilience to attacks and system failures.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as data storage, cybersecurity, disaster recovery, and information technology.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of data loss due to corruption, attacks, or system failures by providing multiple copies of backups stored in separate locations.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased resilience to attacks and system failures, improved data protection, and enhanced disaster recovery capabilities.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include data backup services, cybersecurity solutions, disaster recovery services, and information technology products.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) systems in data storage to provide redundancy and fault tolerance.

What are the specific methods used to store multiple copies of backups in separate locations?

The specific methods used to store multiple copies of backups in separate locations could include replication to geographically dispersed data centers, cloud storage services with redundancy features, or physical storage in different secure facilities.

How does this technology compare to traditional backup methods in terms of data protection and recovery capabilities?

This technology offers improved data protection and recovery capabilities compared to traditional backup methods by providing multiple copies of backups stored in separate locations, which enhances resilience to attacks and system failures.


Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments of the invention relate to generating backups of assets. more specifically, in one or more embodiments of the invention, multiple copies of a backup are stored in separate locations. the copies may then be used to perform a restoration when one of the copies is corrupted. if all copies are corrupted the invention allows for partial restoration of those portions of the copies that are not corrupted. by using copies, embodiments of the invention allow the backups to be more resilient to attacks and system failures.
