  • Patent number: 11150992
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for recording file dependencies. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes creating, by the processor, a new inter-dependencies object in an inter-dependencies registry and writing, by the processor, an inter-dependency relationship between a first file and a second file from which the first file depends to the inter-dependency object in the inter-dependencies registry. The computer-implemented method further provides, by the processor, the inter-dependencies registry to a system upon receiving a call to backup the system.

  • Patent number: 10530569
    Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of initiating a session between one or more users, identifying a current status of user activities associated with the one or more users during the session, determining whether the current status of the user activities requires updates to a local blockchain or a session blockchain, and storing the current status of the user activities in one or more of a local blockchain and a session blockchain.
