Need further be pointed out that; Above-mentioned page configuration file and the parameter setting in the access-profile and field contents all are a kind of preferred implementations that the present invention provides according to concrete application scenarios; In practical application; Can perhaps set needs according to the variation of actual scene; Parameters to above-mentioned is adjusted, and based on technical scheme of the present invention, and the adjustment that concrete parameter title in above-mentioned page configuration file and the access-profile is made does not influence protection scope of the present invention.

Step S202, generate the unified management interface according to predetermined policy.

Wherein, the unified management interface generates according to following predetermined policy:

(1) the unified business operation flow process that takes out according to same or analogous type of affair operating process of above-mentioned multiple backup software generates corresponding business and selects link.

Because the multiple backup software that exists in the current system all can be carried out polytype business, for example; Browsing data business, backup traffic, information deletion business etc.; Therefore, the unified management interface is distinguished abstract polytype business operation flow process of coming out through service selection link, for example; Based on the type of above-mentioned multiple business operating process, several kinds of following service selection links can be set:

Browse link, can start the corresponding information browse page, and further show the resource information in each backup software, realize the unification of resource information in the multiple backup software is browsed through this link;

The backup link; Can start the corresponding information back-up page through this link; So that the operator can select one or more backup softwares to carry out backup operation in this page; Especially can further realize the control operation of multiple backup software through the array mode Backup Data, this is that prior art institute is irrealizable, has reached the overall management of resource backup;

Remove Links can start the corresponding information deletion page through this link, so that the operator can select all or part of information in each backup software to carry out deletion action in this page.

It is to be noted; Above-mentioned link is provided with some preferred implementations that type only is based on concrete application scenarios; According to operator's the demand or the variation of application scenarios; The plan of establishment of above-mentioned service selection link also can be adjusted accordingly, and the function setting of concrete service selection link changes does not influence protection scope of the present invention.

On the other hand, for above-mentioned unified management interface, can have one or more service selection links simultaneously, to control one or polytype business operation flow process respectively, the variation of service selection number of links does not influence protection scope of the present invention.

Through the abstract operation of above-mentioned business operation flow process, on the basis that the operating process that guarantees backup software can realize, shielded the difference in operation between each backup software to greatest extent.

(2) according to the unified needed information of business operation flow process, confirm information display items display unified under each service chaining, and generate corresponding information display page.

Because the target that backup software is operated is the resource information in the backup software; So; In order to realize the unified operating process of above-mentioned abstract; Need the corresponding information content of needed each backup software in clear and definite this flow process, and when handling, show the operator to select and browse.

In concrete application scenarios; Above-mentioned multiple business selects link can distinguish corresponding a plurality of information display page; There is different page layouts in each information display page according to the type difference of pairing business operation flow process; For example; The pairing backup traffic page of backup link with browse the pairing browse service page of link and compare, the backup traffic page can provide this backup software pairing storage resources remaining space, so that the operator selects the backup software execution backup operation of corresponding bigger storage space; Also can let above-mentioned multiple business select the corresponding identical information display page of link; The page layout of this information display page is constant; But the type difference according to the business operation flow process shows different kinds of information on concrete information display position; For example, above-mentioned backup links the pairing backup traffic page and browses the display position that all there be " remark information " in the pairing browse service page of link, when current page is the backup traffic page; The display position of " remark information " is used to show the storage resources remaining space; And when current page was the browse service page, the display position of " remark information " was used to show the file size of current browsing information, and such variation belongs to protection scope of the present invention equally.

Need further be pointed out that; In concrete enforcement scene; Specifically comprise the public information display items display of the multiple backup software in the current system and the individual information display items display of each backup software in the above-mentioned information display items display, i.e. the resource information that has jointly of each backup software and the resource information that has respectively, such information can be according to the setting in the page configuration file; Relevant position at the information display page shows; Thereby, when taking into account the public information characteristics of each backup software, can keep distinctive individual information in each backup software.

(3), generate the information display items display and control link accordingly according to the treatment step in the unified business operation flow process.

Control link and be positioned on the concrete information display page, the information in corresponding one or more concrete backup softwares, perhaps one or more information types.For example; On the information deletion page that starts through Remove Links; Can a link that controls that be used to the information of deleting be set for each bar content information of each backup software of current demonstration, start and to link, a content information of the backup software of then deletion correspondence; And be provided with in addition a corresponding backup software whole content information control link; Start and to link, can realize deletion, in above-mentioned application scenarios whole content information in this backup software; Have the link that controls of a plurality of corresponding respectively specifying informations in the information display page, the whole content information that also to have a corresponding informance type simultaneously be backup software control link.

(4) operating result according to above-mentioned each step generates the unified management interface that comprises service selection link, information display page and control link.

Below only be the embodiment under a kind of application scenarios, change that above-mentioned control link and can carry out the corresponding setting adjustment yet, such variation does not influence protection scope of the present invention according to concrete application scenarios.

In concrete enforcement scene, above-mentioned unified management interface generation strategy is the unified management model that takes out each backup software according to certain rule, in the unified management interface, adopts unified flow process, the unified different backup software of interface management.

Interface annexation between step S203, definition adaptation layer and the multiple backup software.

Concrete, an adaptation layer is set in the native system, be used for the access mode of adaptive different backup softwares, for carrying out of upper-layer service provides support.This adaptation layer is different from the adaptive of existing underlying protocol; It is adaptive that it belongs to higher level application; The backup software that is used for adaptive isomery, its concrete adaptive mode are not limited only to interface protocol adaptive in the different backup softwares, can also further carry out further adaptive to access mode; Comprise the adaptive of access modes such as order line, data stream and instruction, concrete adaptive content change does not influence protection scope of the present invention.

Through above-mentioned steps, accomplished the deployment of the system of the multiple backup software of unified management, and defined the incidence relation between the professional at the middle and upper levels and bottom-up information resource of this system, for the multiple backup software of unified management provides material and logical foundations.

After the native system initialization; Above-mentioned service selection link is in not starting state; And corresponding information display page and the link that controls wherein are not shown to the operator yet, when the operator adopts manual type or other automated manners to start one or more service selection link, begin the concrete operations flow process of the unified management method of above-mentioned multiple backup software; As shown in Figure 3, may further comprise the steps:

Preset page configuration file is read in the service selection link that step S301, basis are activated, and starts this service selection link information corresponding display page.

Step S302, according to page configuration file and access-profile, link in the pairing information display page information that shows multiple backup software in service selection.

In this step, according to the parameter in the page configuration file, obtained corresponding data message, and shown in the information display page in above-mentioned unified management interface, the confession operator browses and uses.

Wherein, be provided with following two kinds of information in the page configuration file at least:

The corresponding relation of the information display items display in the information display page in the unified management interface and the information category of multiple backup software;

The corresponding relation of access mode in the information category of backup software and the access-profile.

On the basis of above-mentioned setting, the realization flow that this step is concrete is:

(1) according to the service selection link that is activated, starts corresponding information display page.

For example, the operator has started above-mentioned Remove Links, and then unified operation interface shows the operator with the information deletion page of correspondence.

(2), to need to confirm in this information display page the corresponding relation of access mode in information category and this information category and the access-profile of the pairing backup software of information display items display that shows according to the page configuration file.

According to the information in the above-mentioned page configuration file; With the above-mentioned information deletion page is example; Need to show title, the creation-time of resource information in each backup software and belong to information such as which backup software; The page configuration file has defined the display position of above-mentioned information in this information deletion page, display mode, and the corresponding relation of access mode in above-mentioned information and the access-profile.

(3) according to the corresponding relation of access mode in information category in the page configuration file and the access-profile,, confirm the access mode information of the pairing content of information category in each backup software through adaptation layer read access configuration file.

This step focus on adaptation layer to the access mode of access-profile query aim information in each backup software; Concrete inquiry is according to then in the page configuration file, setting; For the corresponding relation of access mode information in described information category of target information and the access-profile, can realize inquiry according to wherein through adaptation layer to access mode.

(4), obtain in each backup software and the corresponding content of this information category through adaptation layer according to the access mode information of confirming.

Query Result according to last step; Unified operation interface instructs to each backup software transmit operation through adaptation layer; Operational order wherein is to link corresponding action type with the selected service selection of operator, and the mode that this operational order is sent to backup software then is according to sent to corresponding backup software by the access mode that access-profile inquired by adaptation layer.
