  • Linking dynamic computer data protection to an external state
    Patent number: 9811425
    Abstract: A data backup manager links data backup robustness to an external state. The data backup manager monitors the external state. Responsive to the external state, the data backup manager adjusts parameters controlling data backup, such as backup frequency, backup content, and backup retention time. The data backup manager can increase these parameters responsive to an increase in an external distress state level, and decrease them in response to a decrease in the external distress state level.
    Type: Grant

  • Recovery and operation of captured running states from multiple computing systems on a single computing system
    Patent number: 7480822
    Abstract: Restoring access to running states of multiple primary computing systems onto a single computing system. The captured running states each include, or are altered to include, at least one device driver that is configured to interface with a common virtualization component that runs on the single computing system. The common virtualization component is configured to at least indirectly interface with hardware on the single computing system. The hardware potentially operates using a different interface than the device driver is configured to interface with. The system identifies a boot order for each of the primary computing systems, and then starts the running states for each of the primary computing systems in the appropriate boot order in a manner that takes advantage of the virtual environment exposed by the single computing system.
