ENHANCED PRIORITIZATION ON DATA PROTECTION ASSETS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248812 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. This process helps determine the order in which data assets are backed up or restored.

  • The method first determines a base priority for data assets operated on by the backup system.
  • It then prioritizes 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 them.
  • A priority response action is then performed, such as notifying the user based on the asset prioritization.
  • Backup/restore operations are carried out on the data assets in an order based on the final prioritization values.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Determining base priority for data assets.
  • Prioritizing data assets using priority tagging, grouping factors, and metadata modifiers.
  • Further prioritizing tied assets based on other attributes.
  • Performing priority response actions based on asset prioritization.
  • Carrying out backup/restore operations in an order determined by final prioritization values.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries where data backup and restoration are critical, such as IT, healthcare, finance, and government sectors.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the challenge of efficiently prioritizing data assets for backup operations, ensuring that critical data is backed up and restored in a timely manner.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency in data backup and restoration processes.
  • Enhanced data protection by prioritizing critical assets.
  • Better organization and management of data assets.
  • Timely response to data backup and restoration needs.

Commercial Applications

Title: Data Asset Prioritization Method for Backup Operations This technology can be commercially used by data management companies, IT service providers, cloud storage providers, and organizations with large volumes of critical data to ensure efficient and effective backup and restoration processes.

Questions about Data Asset Prioritization Method for Backup Operations

What are the key factors considered in determining the base priority of data assets for backup operations?

The base priority of data assets is determined based on certain characteristics and metadata modifiers to establish the order in which they are backed up or restored.

How does the method prioritize data assets with the same prioritization value?

If any assets have the same prioritization value, other asset attributes are used to further prioritize them, ensuring a clear order for backup and restoration operations.


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.
