The present invention relates to a method of recovering a system such as a PC, a server, and a portable terminal operating under various operating system environments such as Windows, Unix, Linux, and the like. The current stable system status is maintained in the hard disk of the system in preparation for hardware and software errors of the system caused by internal and external problem situations such as Windows boot error, application inoperation, data loss, etc. Create a recovery point by creating and saving an absolute invasive space in the area, and if a user's system fails, restore the system to the previous save point before the failure occurs, and make the system available for normal use. It relates to a remote recovery method.

In addition, the present invention automatically displays the current state of the operating system, applications, data, etc., in an external place such as a USB storage device, an external hard disk, and an Internet storage disk (web hard), in addition to the hard disk of the system. The present invention relates to a system for remotely recovering a system so that the system can be used normally by storing and restoring the system at a time when a recovery is necessary and when a system failure occurs.

In addition, the present invention automatically checks the user's system environment on the Internet when the user registers online via wired or wireless Internet, etc., if there is no problem in the installation of the dedicated program according to the present invention automatically It is about remote system recovery system which is installed online and recovers system in real time. System remote recovery method that can be used for backup of data by making externally stored data available to other systems through security authentication. It is about.

In various systems that use operating systems such as Windows and Unix, if the operating system, applications, and data of the system are lost due to a user's mistake, virus, or malware, in some cases, a fatal system failure occurs and the system is used. Sometimes it becomes impossible, and in such a case, it takes a long time to solve and recover from the problem, and it causes a great loss not only in time but also in money for individuals and various system users.

In the past, in the event of a system failure, most ordinary users who are not familiar with the system or the computer had to leave it to a professional repair staff. It was about reinstalling the operating system.

However, formatting the hard disk and reinstalling the operating system was not only time-consuming, but also a very cumbersome and time-consuming task, such as having to reinstall various applications even after installing the operating system. In addition, if the hard disk is formatted, all the data stored by the user up to then will be lost, and the user may suffer too much loss.

Therefore, with the recent increase in the popularity of PCs, and almost everyone using the PC and the Internet, each user can recover their system to its original state more easily and quickly in case of an abnormality in its own system. Also, in such a case, there is an increasing demand for a way to easily and efficiently back up their data in order to prevent the loss of stored data.

However, in the past, the recovery method of a system such as a PC is difficult to install for a user who does not know the computer since the user directly installs or uses a recovery program stored on a CD or a disk via online download or offline. It may be, and even after installation, the use of the program is complicated, so it is inconvenient for the user to properly use the recovery program.

In addition, recently, recovery programs that are automatically executed without a user's special instructions have been developed. However, most of them make the product shipped with the factory. That is, after the recovery, only the operating system and the minimum required utilities are installed. As a state, I could not recover the data that the user had saved.

Therefore, users had to back up the data they had stored separately, and then had to do the duplication of restoring the data after recovering the operating system, and at least need to prepare and manage another storage medium for backup. There was an inconvenience.

In addition, recently, a backup program has been developed that makes a single CD image of the contents stored on the hard disk and backs them up at once, and restores them to the state at the time of backup by using them. This is the same as above, in that the backup content is difficult and the backup content is limited by the capacity of the CD and at least the user must manage the storage medium in which the CD image is stored.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide a recovery method for a system that can simultaneously solve the recovery of the operating system and the backup of data without the user having to manage a separate storage medium, etc., but there has been no recovery method that satisfies such a requirement.

Accordingly, the present invention has been devised in view of the above-described needs, and an object thereof is to provide a system remote recovery method capable of simultaneously solving a recovery of an operating system and a backup of data without requiring a user to manage a separate storage medium. do.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a stable current state of the system in preparation for hardware and software errors of the system, that is, boot failure due to damage to the operating system, application inoperability, data loss, and the like. Create a recovery point by creating and storing absolute space that cannot be intruded in a certain area within the disk, and recovers quickly by returning the system to the state before the failure if the user's system fails. The current state of the operating system, applications, data, etc. is automatically stored in all storage locations other than the system hard disk, for example, USB storage devices, external hard disks, and Internet storage disks. Quickly recover in the event of a system failure, allowing you to use your system normally To provide a system recovery method that allows.

In addition, another object of the present invention, when a user registers online via a wired or wireless Internet, etc., the check software automatically checks the user's system environment on the Internet, the installation of a dedicated program according to the present invention If there is no problem, the system is automatically installed online to recover the system in real time, and the system can be used for the backup of data by making the data stored externally available to other systems through security authentication. It is.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiment of this invention is described, referring drawings.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic concept of a system remote recovery method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the system remote recovery method according to the present invention is based on a connection between a user's system and a web server through the Internet, and the Internet may be either wired or wireless Internet.

In addition, the user's system is provided with a space for storing the recovery data in a certain area such as a storage device, for example, a hard disk (HDD) in the system, wherein the space is an absolute area that is not accessible from the outside. It is created and used only for storing recovery data, but not for everyday use.

As described above, when the recovery data is stored separately and an error occurs in the user's system, the recovery data stored in the recovery data storage space can be used to quickly and simply restore the system to the state before the error occurred. have.

This series of processes can be executed remotely via the Internet, and the detailed processing procedure thereof will be described with reference to FIG.

2 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure with respect to the first embodiment of the system remote recovery method according to the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 2, when a user first accesses a web server through the Internet, the web server determines whether the user has registered, and if the user is a non-member, performs a member registration procedure. Confirm and perform member authentication.

When the membership authentication process is completed, the check program on the web server checks the user's system environment through the Internet, and automatically installs the recovery program on the user's system if there is no problem with the installation of the recovery program.

In this way, when the installation of the recovery program is completed, the recovery program operates from that point to protect the system.

After that, when an abnormality such as an inoperability of an operating system or an application program occurs in the user's system, the recovery proceeds through the recovery program, and the user can normally use the system again.

Specifically, in the checking step, the HDD, OS type and version, directory, process, registry, MBR (Master Boot Record) area, BIOS area, file, etc. of the user's system is checked and stored in the web server side. Compare with engine check DB data, if there is no problem, automatically install the recovery program online. If there is any problem, it outputs a message that it is impossible to install and outputs a message about whether to install again later.

In the installation operation step, the recovery program is operated to create an absolute area that is not accessible from a storage medium such as an HDD of the user system from the outside, and the operating system and the application program of the user system and the operating system and the application program and the user Create and save recovery points (recovery data) of data stored in storage media such as files, documents, photos, and e-mails that you create, and if a problem occurs in the system, the recovery program uses its own recovery algorithm to return to its original state. Restore your system.

In addition, the user may generate and store a plurality of recovery points, and when a problem occurs and recovers, the user may freely select and recover all recovery points of the operating system, applications, and data of the system. At this point, you can protect your system with a password at every critical recovery point.

In addition, when performing recovery, the operating system and applications are first recovered and then user data is restored.

At this time, the recovery algorithm of the recovery program records the data automatically generated by the system, such as the user's data and patches when the data is stored, and compares and analyzes the changed values during recovery to store the stored backup data value and the current value. When it is different, it is configured to restore and operate the system to its original state, that is, to a state of recovery point desired by the user.

Specifically, the index value of the data is created and stored in the FAT / NTFS area of the system and a predetermined area of the hard disk, and the database is stored. When the index value of the stored backup data is different from the index value of the current data, the user Is to restore all the environment and data of the system to the state of the desired time. The time to return from the current to the past environment is given the default value, or the system automatically selects the data from the past recovery point when the user selects the time point. It can operate to recover the data at the recovery point.

In addition, the conventional method defragments a part of the hard disk, which is a physical storage device, and checks and partitions the integrity, stores the data to be backed up in the partition area where the data is to be backed up, or does not forcibly defragment and partition the existing disk. Although stored in a portion of the storage device as it is, according to the present invention is configured to automatically and automatically select the appropriate method by analyzing the state and free space of the hard disk, and further, the entire data backed up as in the conventional method It takes a lot of time to re-save after recalling, but according to the present invention, the time required for recovery, because only the wrong part of the existing data is corrected by comparing and analyzing the existing data remaining in the storage medium and the stored recovery data This becomes very fast.

As described above, when a problem occurs in the user's system, the user can quickly and simply recover the system to the state before the problem occurred. In addition, IP, network settings, network registry, interlocking programs, etc. can be operated by simple recovery operation even when a simple application or network error occurs when the operating system is operating without any problem. You can simply recover without disrupting the system.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the recovery data is stored in a storage medium in the user's system, for example, a hard disk, has been described. In addition, an external storage device other than its own system, for example, an external hard disk, USB The recovery program according to the present invention, the operating system, the application program, and the data of the user system are transferred to a memory, a storage medium (web hard) through the Internet, and the like, and an absolute area is created in a predetermined area of the external storage medium. It is also possible to make a separate recovery point of application, data, and save it, and if necessary, authenticate through the Internet, and then transfer the recovery data to the system to recover remotely. This is particularly useful when the hard disk is physically damaged and the recovery data stored therein cannot be used.

3 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the system remote recovery method according to the second embodiment of the present invention as described above.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, except that the operation related to the recovery is performed remotely through the Internet, other parts are the same as those of the first embodiment of FIG. Only the other parts are explained.

First, the process until the user accesses a web server and installs a recovery program is the same as in the first embodiment. However, the process after the recovery program operates to generate the recovery data is as follows.

When the recovery program is installed and starts to operate, it generates the recovery data of the user system as in the first embodiment, and saves the generated recovery data on the user's hard disk if desired according to the user's selection, and at the same time Transfer to an external storage device such as an external hard disk connected to an external storage device such as a web hard drive connected via the Internet.

In addition, in the external storage device or the web hard disk, as in the first embodiment, an absolute area that cannot be accessed from the outside is generated and the recovery data is stored therein. At this time, a password is set in the recovery data stored in the external storage device or the web hard to prevent unauthorized leakage of user data.

In this way, the recovery data is stored in a plurality of storage media, and when a problem occurs in the user's system, in particular, the recovery data stored in the hard disk cannot be used or the hard disk is physically damaged and must be replaced with a new one. In this case, the user can connect the external storage device storing the recovery data to his system or access the web server through the Internet to authenticate the user, and receive the recovery data saved earlier to perform the recovery operation quickly and easily. I can finish.

In addition, even in the present embodiment, a plurality of recovery points can be created and freely selected and restored to a desired point of time. Even if the user's system does not allow access to the Internet, it is possible to access a web server from another system that can access the Internet. Since the user can authenticate the user and receive the recovery data of the user to perform the recovery operation, the user does not have to manage the recovery data separately in a separate storage medium.

That is, in the first embodiment, when the recovery data stored in the hard disk cannot be used or the hard disk is physically damaged and must be replaced with a new one, the recovery is impossible. According to this embodiment, the hard disk of the user's system is Since the system can be recovered remotely even when it is not available, the system can be used more safely than in the first embodiment. In particular, when the recovery data is stored in the web server, the user does not even need to manage a separate storage medium. User convenience is increased.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, unlike the existing recovery system that had to store the recovery data in its own system and backed up and managed it to an external storage medium, the user of the internal system and external hard disk, USB memory, web server, etc. By allowing the user to select the recovery point and save the recovery data at the same time in a plurality of external storage devices designated by the user, the user can generate the plurality of recovery data with only one operation to protect the system as much as possible in the event of a problem.

In addition, since a plurality of recovered data are stored in dual, both internally and remotely, even if the hard disk is physically damaged, it can be quickly and easily recovered.If only one of the two pieces of recovered data is available, it can be recovered in any case. This allows users to use the system more safely.

In addition, the recovery data can be stored in an internet-based storage medium such as web hard, and at the time of recovery, it can be accessed by a web server through the internet to receive and recover the data, even if the user's system cannot use the Internet. Since the user can access the web server and receive the recovery data through user authentication, the user does not need to create and manage the backup data again in a separate storage medium.

In other words, the present invention provides a triple structure of (1) a self backup system (hard disk), (2) a first remote backup system (external storage medium), and (3) a second remote backup system (other PCs, etc.). It is a process structure in which self-backed up system data is linked with other systems.

That is, the first remote backup system (external storage medium) interlocks the data required by the other third system, so that users using multiple terminals can use the system very conveniently, and also the second remote backup When a user changes data through the Internet in the system, it is immediately stored in the first remote backup system (external storage medium), and then the self-backup system is activated to detect the inconsistency of the data. The data of the storage medium) is transmitted to the own backup system equipment to integrate the system, and at this time, all data is stored in a number set by the user or set by default.

That is, the existing recovery / backup has been operated in one process, but according to the present invention, dual data, that is, simultaneously recovering and backing up data to both its own system and an external system, can be used for system error, loss, and destruction. In this case, it is a bi-directional structure that configures the system / process redundancy / dualization and triplet so that recovery of the system does not interfere, and at the same time, a third system is also supported.

In addition, during the recovery of the system, after recovering from the current point in time to the past, the user may correct the error in the backup data at the present point of time, and then restore the current point.

In addition, even in the case of the present embodiment, the IP, network setting values, and the network registry can be restored by a simple recovery operation even when a simple application or a network error occurs when the operating system is operating without problems. It is possible to easily restore the operating system and the system without interrupting the operating system and the system.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated with respect to the Example of this invention, this invention is not limited only to the above-mentioned Example, The technical field to which this invention belongs according to a design need etc. in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. Of course, those skilled in the art that various modifications, changes, combinations and partial combinations are possible, of course.

As described above, according to the present invention, hardware and software errors of PCs, servers, and portable terminal systems under various operating systems such as Windows, Unix, and Linux, that is, Windows boot errors, application inoperability, data loss, etc. Compared to this, create a recovery point by creating and saving absolute space in a certain area that cannot be invaded from the outside of the hard disk of the own system, and create a recovery point, and if the user's PC and server fails, By reverting to the save point, you can quickly restore the system and use it normally.

In addition, according to the present invention, the current state of the operating system, applications, data, etc. are automatically stored in the external storage device such as a USB storage device, an external hard disk, and a web hard drive simultaneously with the hard disk of the system. Externally stored data can be used by other systems through security authentication when recovery is needed and when a system failure occurs, so that the system can be recovered even if the system is physically damaged.It can also be used for data backup as well as system recovery. have.

Moreover, according to the present invention, when a user registers online via wired or wireless Internet, the check software automatically checks the user's system environment on the Internet, and if there is no problem with the installation of the recovery program, the online automatically Since the installation is performed, the user can secure the system with a simple operation.

In addition, according to the present invention, if a simple error occurs when the operating system is operating without problems, only the problematic part can be selectively recovered without affecting the operating system and the system. There is no need for the user to recover the system more quickly and simply.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the user does not need to manage a separate storage medium separately, and the system can be quickly and remotely restored via the offline and the Internet even when the user's system is physically destroyed from a simple error with a simple operation. At the same time, the problem of data backup can be solved without preparing a separate storage medium.
