  • Patent number: 8843450
    Abstract: A method for restoring associated with a collaborative software application is disclosed. A virtual file system exposing backup data of a collaborative software application stored in a backup data storage is created. A selection of a portion of the backup data to be restored to the collaborative software application is received via an interface associated with the virtual file system. The selected portion of the backup data is caused to be granularly restored to the collaborative management system without restoring one or more unselected portions of the backup data. A write capability of the virtual file system is used to modify a portion of the restored data in response to a write operation by the collaborative software application.

  • Publication number: 20070005914
    Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up and/or restoring data. When a backup operation is initiated, systems and methods are provided for creating a single snapshot of the backup items, including backup groupings. The single snapshot is used by a backup/recovery application to perform a save process on each backup grouping. By using the same snapshot, the backup is performed based on the same point in time so that the backed up data across the client system is consistent and synchronized. When a recovery operation is initiated, recovery items (e.g., backup groupings, writers and writer components) are selected from backup groupings of the client.

  • Publication number: 20060117309
    Abstract: Methods and systems for backing up data of a client connected to a server. The methods and systems include operating a graphical user interface for displaying to a user information about the data of a client. At an administrator module and client module, initiating one or more wizard program modules including dynamic link libraries configured to carry a user through the steps to complete a backup function, each wizard program module having one or more application program interfaces which allow the wizard program modules to communicate with the operating system on which the administrator module or client module is operating. A client module communication component is provided to allow the administrator module and the client module communicate using a single application program interface.

  • Publication number: 20060053332
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recovering data from a backup copy and for backing up data. When a recovery operation is initiated, recovery items are selected from backup groupings of the client. The recovery items can include backup groupings, writers, and writer components. After the recovery items are selected, backed up metadata for each selected writer is retrieved from the backed up data. The backed up metadata is then queried to identify the restore method of the writer. The data of the client is then recovered by implementing the restore method included in the backed up metadata of the writer. During a backup operation, some of the backup groupings, as well as the content of the backup groupings, can be individually selected for backup. In both backup and recovery, a visual indication may be provided to identify individual selectability.
