  • Publication number: 20200356445
    Abstract: A backup, search, and restore service is provided. The service can be achieved through a backup system, and a search and restore server. A user can be enabled to initiate a search request for one or more data items. A search can be performed by the search and restore server using metadata for the data items backed up by the backup system to return the one or more data items. The metadata for the data items can be generated by the backup system when data items are backed up by the backup system. The backup system may back up the data items on an incremental basis. The user can be enabled to select a data item in the one or more data items for restoration on the data system. Header information of the selected data item can be obtained from the data system to determine whether the restoration is necessary.

  • Patent number: 10728107
    Abstract: Embodiments can provide centralized management of cloud service providers for one or more customers, including adding, changing or deleting end user data for accessing various cloud services from a common user interface. The common user interface can facilitate configuring user settings for a particular user for different cloud services through a user profile for the particular user. The user profile can be constructed from a corresponding user record stored in a databased. The user record can be updated by obtaining user information from the different cloud services. The obtained user information can be matched to the user record by using one or more criteria. In some embodiments, different criteria can be used for matching information from different cloud services to the user record.
