Abstract: A method and system for performing a backup operation at a local-area network (LAN) including at least one LAN device and a LAN gateway (GW) includes adding backup data to a local backup archive coupled to the LAN. A request to send backup data may be sent to a data center accessible via a wide-area network (WAN). The data center may indicate authorization to send the backup data. The local backup archive may then be sent to the data center, which may generate a secure backup archive at one or more remote locations. The local backup archive may be sent at an advantageous time with respect to LAN/WAN network availability. After the secure backup archive has been successfully created, the GW may be notified and may then delete the local backup archive.

Abstract: A method and system for performing a smart repair of a target device is initiated by establishing a connection to a smart repair processing system. System components on the target device may then be analyzed, followed by an analysis of system software and user data. The target device user data may be secured by transfer to a backup server. A smart repair script may be generated based on user input and the results of the analysis. The smart repair script may then be executed on a secondary operating system loaded on the target device to attain a desired system configuration of the target device. The target device user data may then be restored on the target device.

Abstract: A method and system for maintaining data recoverability of a computer system coupled to a storage device storing data objects includes identifying at least one recoverability parameter associated with the storage device. A recoverability index is calculated based on a recoverability parameter. The recoverability index may reflect the recoverability of the computer system from data loss. The recoverability index may be continuously calculated and evaluated. Recoverability actions, such as performing a backup operation, may be performed in response to a value associated with the recoverability index.

Abstract: A method and system for backup and recovery of data objects accessible to a computer system may identify data events associated with the data objects. Metadata providing a record of data events associated with a data object, including information identifying prior versions of a data object may be stored in a central index. An indication of a plurality of data objects may be displayed on a single panel display object, along with a revision history for each displayed data object. The revision history may include an indication of previous versions of the data object, which may be selectable and accessible from the single panel display object. The single panel display object may further display a timeline with a selectable timescale. The timescale may be associated with a color scale, which may also be used in the display of the data objects and their respective revision histories.
