Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to using wireless identification tags (e.g., RFID tags) with backup media. In aspects, a wireless identification tag may be attached to, incorporated into, or otherwise associated with backup media, a container holding the backup media, or a location (e.g., a shelf) associated with the backup media. In response to a signal, this wireless identification tag may provide an identifier that uniquely identifies the wireless identification tag. This identifier may be associated with a data set that is stored or to be stored on the backup media. The wireless identification tag may be used to locate the backup media and to identify what is on particular backup media. In some embodiments, the wireless identification tag may store backup information thereon that may be subsequently retrieved and used identify what is on its associated backup media.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a first processing device may detect an occurrence of an event associated with an alert message. The alert message may include at least one selectable item and may be generated by the first processing device and transmitted to a second processing device. The second processing device may receive the alert message and may present the alert message including the at least one selectable action. A user of the second processing device may select one of the at least one selectable action and a message including an indication of the selected one of the at least one selectable message may be sent to the first processing device. The first processing device may receive the message and may execute a set of instructions corresponding to an alert action represented by the selected one of the at least one selectable message.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to arranging resource representations in multiple visual dimensions according to two or more attributes associated with the resources. In aspects, a user interface receives input that associates attributes with visualization dimensions. The user interface may also receive filter input that indicates criteria to use to filter the resources. After receiving the input, the user interface may then display the representations according to the attributes, visualization dimensions, and filter, if any. For the visualization dimensions displayed, resources with different attributes are displayed such that they can be distinguished from each other in a manner that is consistent with their attributes. This may be done spatially, by color, by size or shape, or in some other visually distinguishing manner.
