  • Patent number: 10684921
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for navigating backup configurations may include (1) identifying a set of computing resources within a backup environment managed by a backup system, (2) identifying a request to navigate a configuration of the backup system, and, in response to the request, (3) displaying the set of computing resources within a graphical user interface as selectable elements, (4) identifying a selection within the graphical user interface of at least one computing resource within the set of computing resources, (5) receiving an input within the graphical user interface to provide backup information relating to the selection, and, in response to the input, (6) displaying the backup information. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8943372
    Abstract: An aspect of this invention is a method that includes evaluating a computing environment by performing auditing of a fault tolerance ability of the computing environment to tolerate each of a plurality of failure scenarios; constructing a failover plan for each of the plurality of scenarios; identifying one or more physical resource limitations which constrain the fault tolerance ability; and identifying one or more physical resources to be added to the computing environment to tolerate each of the plurality of failure scenarios.

  • Patent number: 8806281
    Abstract: A method for displaying backup-status information for computing resources. The method may include (1) identifying at least one protected resource that is scheduled to be backed up periodically, (2) identifying a request to view backup-status information for the protected resource, (3) in response to the request, identifying each backup of the protected resource that was scheduled to occur during a prior window of time, (4) determining whether each scheduled backup of the protected resource was successful, and (5) displaying, within a graphical user interface, a visual backup status indicator for the protected resource for the prior window of time, wherein the visual backup status indicator visually indicates whether any scheduled backups of the protected resource failed during the prior window of time. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8712967
    Abstract: A method for simultaneously configuring multiple independent backups. The method may include (1) identifying a backup environment managed by a backup system, (2) identifying a request from a user to configure a plurality of backups within the backup environment, wherein each backup within the plurality of backups specifies, independent of any other backup, a backup operation to be performed by the backup system on a computing resource within the backup environment, (3) providing a graphical user interface that allows the user to simultaneously configure each backup within the plurality of backups, (4) receiving a request, from the user via the graphical user interface, to simultaneously configure each backup within the plurality of backups, and (5) in response to the request to simultaneously configure each backup within the plurality of backups, independently configuring each backup within the plurality of backups so as to maintain the independence of each backup.

  • Publication number: 20130130067
    Abstract: An electrochemical device (such as a battery) includes at least one electrode having a fluid surface, which may employ a surface energy effect to maintain a position of the fluid surface and/or to modulate flow within the fluid. Fluid-directing structures may also modulate flow or retain fluid in a predetermined pattern. An electrolyte within the device may also include an ion-transport fluid, for example infiltrated into a porous solid support.
