  • Patent number: 9684561
    Abstract: A smart assistant scans or directs the scanning of a network and clients connected to the network to ensure that the clients will be properly backed up. When the smart assistant detects a change in the network, a client, or both, the smart assistant seeks the approval of a backup administrator to automatically update backup configuration information based on the detected change. If the backup administrator approves the approval request, the smart assistant automatically updates the backup configuration information. If the backup administrator denies the approval request, the smart assistant does not update the backup configuration information.

  • Publication number: 20080046462
    Abstract: A software system automatically and dynamically generates a fully functional user interface (UI) based upon, and connected directly to, an underlying data model (as instantiated within a relational database management system (RDBMS)). The UI derives from an automated interrogation of the RDBMS, and comprises all mode displays (e.g., browse, search, edit, add) for all tables, and a full complement of mechanisms—integrated directly into the mode displays—for representing, navigating, and managing relationships across tables, regardless of the complexity of the underlying RDBMS schema. It utilizes a hierarchical “context stack” for suspending the working state of a particular table while “drilling down” to work with related-table information and return relevant changes to the base table.
