  • Disaster recovery—multiple restore options and automatic management of restored computing devices
    Patent number: 9846621
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may comprise performing a disaster recovery restore process on a target computing device; accessing a backup server; and selecting a source backup from the backup server. The source backup may comprise one or more volumes, partitions, files and device drivers of a source computing device from which the source backup was created. The selected source backup may then be installed in an offline partition of the target computing device. One or more target device drivers may then be installed in the offline partition. To complete the disaster recovery restore process on the target computing device, the target computing device may then be rebooted. Both the backup of the source computing device and the active partition of the target device may comprise source computing device-dependent hardware device drivers. When carried out in a Windows® environment, Sysprep need not be used and the kernel need not be modified.

  • Disaster recovery on dissimilar hardware
    Patent number: 9619340
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may comprise performing a disaster recovery restore process on a target computing device; accessing a backup server; and selecting a source backup from the backup server.
