Abstract: A message post-processing apparatus provides an optional instrumented viewport to a message recipient to store message dispositions such as archive, reply-to, forward, open, move, delete, and each elapsed time-to-disposal (TTD) from display. The instrumented viewport also displays a proposed disposition and a proposed TTD, which may be overridden within the instrumented viewport. A timer is initialized to TDD when each message is substantially within the viewport. Absent user intervention, a disposer circuit performs the proposed operation on the message upon expiration of the TTD. The proposed TTD and disposition is derived from analyzing the history and quality of similar messages among recipient's dispositions. When a recipient changes the treatment of a message, the apparatus stores the new disposition and TTD for future reference. A synthesizer circuit transforms message body and headers and proposed TTD and disposition into a message précis.

Abstract: A store for virus and malware fingerprints is coupled to a backup server apparatus which receives hashes and file shards from backup clients through a network. A circuit compares hashes received from backup clients to determine matches with file shards previously stored and matches with file shards with virus or malware infections. File shards not previously stored are received for backup and inspection by a virus filter. When a received file shard is determined to match a virus or malware fingerprint, a process is initiated to restore the file on the backup client to a clean version and notify the user and the network security administrator. The hashes of file shards determined to match a virus or malware fingerprint are stored for future reference. The data of a file shard which has been determined to be infected is also stored in case of a false-positive determination.

Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to support providing a mobile device associated with a user a plurality of file segments retrieved based on the location of the mobile device. Under the approach, when the user arrives at a location, a remote file/copy server receives a location indicia of the mobile device independent of and separated from a request for an electronic document by the mobile device. The remote server determines a geo-fenced area based on the location indicia of the mobile device, searches for and retrieves from a database one or more geo-tagged file segments that match the location of the mobile device.

Abstract: A system enables booting a virtual machine and browsing files from a de-duplicated backup server by initializing a virtual machine process, and setting up NFS services connecting the NFS service to a fake disk. The fake disk is actualized by a backup server and an overlay store. Writing into the fake disk is supported by an overlay store. Reading from the fake disk is supported by file reads from the backup server or from the overlay store.
