Publication number: 20140359505Abstract: In one embodiment, non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions for implementing tagged management of stored items, wherein an embodiment can receive an input indicating the selection of a graphical representation of a file in the GUI of an operating system, and can also receive an input indicating the intent to attach a tag to the file. The system can perform an automatic search through the metadata of files associated with the user and the user account to find the set of files having the tag, responsive to the request to display the set of files. Having located the set of files, an operation can be performed to display the set of files having the requested tag, regardless of the storage location of the files.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2013Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Pavel Cisler, Yan Arrouye, Laurent Baumann, Loic Vandereyken, John Hornkvist, Ali Ozer

Publication number: 20140188808Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for storing data are disclosed. In some implementations, visual representations of files are generated for presentation in a backup user interface. The visual representations are generated from sparse file system metadata stored on the computing device, thus allowing faster navigating of the backup user interface. During a restore operation, the metadata can be used to retrieve the items from their physical storage locations. In some implementations, when the storage capacity of a backup storage device exceeds a threshold, the data for the N oldest backups are replaced with sparse file system metadata, which can be used to generate visual representations for presentation in the backup user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: July 3, 2014Inventors: Christopher Wolf, Daniel I. Feldman, Eric A. Weiss, Kristen A. McIntyre, Pavel Cisler, Richard B. Blair, Erika Misaki
