Abstract:

An application specific rollback system that includes a software application that performs operations requested by a user to generate application specific data. The software application has an application specific rollback module with an index for assisting in locating different states of the application specific data that were generated by the user requests. Also included in the system is a logical view storage that provides an organizational scheme for storage of the application specific data on one of a plurality of storage media, for migration of the application specific data to other ones of the plurality of storage media, for tracking the migration of the application specific data over time, and for maintaining the index of the software application. The application specific rollback module also provides access to a specific version of the application specific data when requested by a user such that the application specific data from a user selected date is accessible.

Abstract:

A modular data and storage management system. The system includes a time variance interface that provides for storage into a storage media of data that is received over time. The time variance interface of the modular data and storage management system provides for retrieval, from the storage media, of an indication of the data corresponding to a user specified date. The retrieved indication of the data provides a user with an option to access specific information relative to the data, such as content of files that are included in the data.

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

707204

Abstract:

A modular computer storage system and method is provided for managing and directing data archiving functions. A client component is associated with one or more client devices for generating archival request. A file processor directs one or more storage devices, through one or more media components, which control the actual physical level backup on various storage devices. Each media component creates a library indexing system for locating stored data. A management component coordinates the archival functions between the various client components and the file processor, including setting scheduling policies, aging policies, index pruning policies, drive cleaning policies, configuration information, and keeping track of running and waiting jobs. The management component also keeps the scheduling information for a timetable of backups of the client devices and allocates storage space. The modular computer storage system may also work in conjunction with a Storage Area Network.

Abstract:

An e-mail management system that includes an e-mail browser having a time variance interface that provides for storage into a storage media of e-mail messages that have been received over time. The time variance interface of the e-mail browser also provides for retrieval, from the storage media, of the e-mail messages corresponding to a user specified date. The retrieved e-mail messages each include an indication of the presence of an accompanying attachment(s) in the e-mail message. An affirmative indication provides the user with an option of retrieving content of the attachment(s) from the storage media such that the content of the attachment(s) is retrieved by the e-mail browser only when specifically requested by the user.
