SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LEVERAGING BACKUP METADATA TO PROVIDE GRANULAR OPTIONS FOR DISCOVERY OF DELETED ITEMS AND RECOVERY AFTER DATA BACKUP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17721391 Titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LEVERAGING BACKUP METADATA TO PROVIDE GRANULAR OPTIONS FOR DISCOVERY OF DELETED ITEMS AND RECOVERY AFTER DATA BACKUP'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method for performing a backup on a computing device. The method involves receiving a request for a graphical user interface (GUI) of a local file system, intercepting the request, and obtaining backup and local file system metadata. A combined file system content list is generated using this metadata, and a GUI is generated and displayed to the user on the device's display.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for performing a backup includes: receiving, by a computing device, a native view request for a graphical user interface (GUI) of a local file system; intercepting, by a backup services agent executing on the computing device, the native view request before the GUI is generated; obtaining, by the backup services agent and in response to intercepting the native view request, a file system backup metadata associated with the local file system from a backup storage device and a local file system metadata associated with the local file system from a local storage of the computing device; generating a combined file system content list using the file system backup metadata and the local file system metadata; generating the GUI using the combined file system content list; and displaying, on a display of the computing device and to a user, the GUI.
