Patent number: 8533189Abstract: A method and system for backing up and restoring data. First, a full backup is performed to create a full dataset. Thereafter, incremental or differential datasets may be created by incremental or differential backups, respectively. When a new full dataset is needed, instead of performing a full backup, a previous full dataset may be combined with subsequent incremental or differential datasets to create the new full dataset. The new full dataset may be created on a computer other than the computer which hosts the data of the previous full dataset. The new full dataset may be used for offsite storage or to quickly restore data in the event of a failure or corruption of a computer's file system.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2010Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Catharine van Ingen, Brian T.

Patent number: 7574459Abstract: A method for verifying data copies generated by a data protection system is provided. In accordance with the method, intents for selecting a data copy to be verified are determined. The intents may specify a time period after which data is to be verified and an interval for which the verification is to be repeated. Additionally, utilizing the intents, a data copy matching those intents is identified and verified. A data copy may be verified by comparing a checksum of the data copy with a known checksum value. If the data copy fails to be verified, a copy of the data copy is generated.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2005Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Vijay Sen, Amit Singla, Arasu Shankher Jeyaprakash, Brian T Berkowitz, Catharine van Ingen, Karandeep Singh Anand, Sunil Pai, Sushil Baid, Vinay S Badami, Nikhil Chandhok
