Definitions

  • data backup software devices products
  • the data backup software product often has other, perhaps related, limitations (e.g. the amount of data is can back up is small). Not all data backup software devices perform the same function. Thus, it is frequently necessary to have two or more different types of data backup software programs in use within the same organization, especially in large organizations. Anecdotally, one company has as many as 17 different data backup software devices in use somewhere in their organization. This is referred to as fragmentation.
  • CBAL canonical backup activity log
  • BX interfaces to a BEP using an interface that is sufficiently general to support the variety of requirements necessitated by the need to communicate with a plurality of backup engines.
  • CBAL which is implemented, in the preferred embodiment as a COM interface named "IBackupLog”. This COM interface essentially becomes the lingua franca for expressing and representing an historical record of data backup activity.
  • CBEL is implemented in the preferred embodiment as a COM interface named "IBackupDetail".
  • the key purpose of a BEP is to translate the data that is obtained from an application-programming interface (API) that is specific to a particular backup engine into a CBAL and CBEL.
  • API application-programming interface
  • the "GetLogicalTarget” method returns the logical target name, a description of what files or objects are being backed up.
  • the logical target is often a directory or file name, e.g. "C: ⁇ Foo".
  • the logical target is a mnemonic string or name that denotes a collection of directories and files.
  • the parameter named "bkupDate” is a floating-point number that contains the number of days (including fractional days) since the epoch (Dec 30, 1899). This is one of the standard date notations used with COM. Only those errors, warnings and events from the specified day will be returned (that is, the 24-hour hour period from midnight to midnight that includes the specified date and time).
  • BX When the "RequestBackupLog” method is called, BX spawns two threads, a "worker” thread and a “timer” thread. It then returns the task identification number of the "worker” thread.
  • This task identification number is used as a unique reference number that is intended to match a call to the "RequestBackupLog” method with a "ReceivedBackupLog” event (in case there is more than one call to the method, and there is confusion over which event corresponds to which call). In any case, the task identification number is set to unique thread identification number of the "worker” thread, which is easily obtained from the operating system.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système extensible qui permettent d'obtenir un enregistrement de sauvegarde de données à partir d'une pluralité de dispositifs logiciels de sauvegarde de données, et de le convertir dans un format canonique. Dans un premier aspect, on décrit un procédé qui consiste à mettre en oeuvre un mécanisme de liaison tardive conférant à l'objet de l'invention une extensibilité lui permettant d'interopérer avec une variété arbitraire de dispositifs logiciels de sauvegarde. Dans un deuxième aspect, on décrit une interface de requête et de retour d'un journal d'activités de sauvegarde canonique. Dans un troisième aspect, on décrit une interface de requête et de retour d'un journal d'erreurs de sauvegarde canonique. Dans un quatrième aspect, l'utilisation d'un format canonique permet d'établir une référence croisée pour les données, de consolider et de comparer ces données (fig. 1).
