Description
本發明是有關於一種系統還原檔案的管理方法，且特別是有關於一種不重複儲存檔案之系統還原檔案的管理方法。The invention relates to a method for managing a system restoration file, and in particular to a method for managing a system restoration file without repeatedly storing files.
對於電腦製造商而言，需根據各種語言、作業平台、或其他軟硬體架構的不同，而備有不同的映像檔，以載入或還原至所對應之不同電腦機型之電腦。舉例來說，當所要出貨之電腦具有微軟視窗作業系統(Microsoft Windows)以及Linux作業系統時，則需事先分別對微軟視窗作業系統以及Linux作業系統分別製作並儲存一映像檔，以載入或還原至所對應之不同電腦機型之電腦。For computer manufacturers, different images are required to load or restore to different computers of different computer models according to different languages, operating platforms, or other software and hardware architectures. For example, when the computer to be shipped has Microsoft Windows operating system (Microsoft Windows) and Linux operating system, it is necessary to separately create and store an image file for the Microsoft Windows operating system and the Linux operating system separately to load or Restore to the computer of the corresponding computer model.
隨著作業系統的推陳出新，作業系統所需要的儲存空間也隨著越來越大。因此，當對不同的電腦機型儲存多份具有同樣作業系統檔案之不同映像檔時，需要大量的儲存媒體，如多顆大容量硬碟，來儲存此些不同之映像檔。然而，在對應於不同電腦機型之映像檔中，僅有少部份之文件或檔案是不同的。其他在映像檔中的檔案，如作業系統，大部分是相同的。若分開對各電腦機型製作不同之映像檔，則會浪費許多儲存媒體之空間來儲存重複之檔案內容。With the innovation of the writing system, the storage space required by the operating system is also growing. Therefore, when storing multiple images of the same operating system file for different computer models, a large amount of storage media, such as a plurality of large-capacity hard disks, is required to store the different image files. However, in the image files corresponding to different computer models, only a small number of files or files are different. Other files in the image file, such as the operating system, are mostly the same. If you create different image files for each computer model separately, you will waste a lot of storage media space to store duplicate file content.
因此本發明之一技術態樣為一種檔案管理方法，記錄 對應於電腦機型所需之檔案，並僅將不存在於資料庫中之檔案存入資料庫。然後，自資料庫取出對應於電腦之電腦機型之檔案，並將取出之檔案載入電腦之儲存體。Therefore, one aspect of the present invention is a file management method, which records Corresponds to the files required by the computer model, and only stores the files that do not exist in the database into the database.

在步驟130中，提供一電腦機型之儲存體分割表。其中，儲存體分割表係作為分割電腦之儲存體之依據。舉例來說，當電腦之儲存體為一硬碟時，電腦可依據儲存體分割表對其硬碟作磁碟分割。此外，儲存體分割表可用一磁碟分割軟體產生並儲存。In step 130, a bank partition table of a computer model is provided. Among them, the storage segmentation table is used as the basis for dividing the storage of the computer. For example, when the storage of the computer is a hard disk, the computer can discard the hard disk according to the storage partition table. In addition, the bank partition table can be generated and stored by a disk partitioning software.
接下來，當進行系統還原或製作還原光碟時，即可根據電腦機型或使用者所指定之檔案資訊表，自資料庫取得系統還原檔案，而載入此電腦機型之電腦。在步驟140中，根據電腦機型，取得對應於電腦機型之檔案資訊表以及儲存體分割表。Next, when performing a system restore or making a restored optical disc, the system restore file can be obtained from the database according to the computer model or the file information table specified by the user, and the computer of the computer model can be loaded. In step 140, according to the computer model, a file information table corresponding to the computer model and a storage partition table are obtained.
此外，在步驟150中，亦可根據自使用者介面取得之選擇訊號，選擇檔案資訊表。換言之，使用者可透過使用者介面自行選擇所需之檔案資訊表。In addition, in step 150, the file information table may also be selected according to the selection signal obtained from the user interface. In other words, the user can select the desired file information table through the user interface.
在步驟160中，根據檔案資訊表，自資料庫取得系統還原檔案。系統還原檔案包含對應於電腦機型之驅動程 式、應用程式、作業系統之檔案或其他用以載入或還原電腦機型之電腦所需的檔案。In step 160, the system restore file is obtained from the database according to the file information table. The system restore file contains the driver corresponding to the computer model. File, application, operating system file or other file required to load or restore a computer model.
在步驟170中，可依照儲存體分割表分割相同電腦機型的電腦之儲存體。接下來，在步驟180中，將系統還原檔案載入電腦之儲存體。其中，系統還原檔案可透過網路利用單播(unicast)或多播(multicast)之方式傳送以載入至電腦。In step 170, the storage of the computer of the same computer model can be divided according to the storage partition table. Next, in step 180, the system restore file is loaded into the storage of the computer. Among them, the system restore file can be transmitted through the network using unicast or multicast to load to the computer.
此外，亦可將系統還原映像檔壓製為一系統還原映像檔(步驟190)，並將系統還原映像檔儲存至一儲存媒介(步驟200)，如光碟、隨身硬碟或其他儲存媒介，以使電腦讀取儲存媒介，並自儲存媒介取得系統還原映像檔，以將系統還原映像檔還原或載入電腦。舉例來說，可將系統還原映像檔燒錄為一還原光碟，使得電腦可藉由讀取還原光碟上之系統還原映像檔，而將系統還原映像檔還原或載入電腦。In addition, the system restore image file can also be suppressed into a system restore image file (step 190), and the system restore image file can be saved to a storage medium (step 200), such as a compact disc, a hard drive, or other storage medium, so that The computer reads the storage medium and obtains a system restore image from the storage medium to restore or load the system restore image file to the computer. For example, the system restore image can be burned to a restore disc, so that the computer can restore or load the system restore image file by reading the system restore image on the restore disc.
