Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and a method for retrieving data which is available on a backup server terminal but lost or not available at a user terminal which is connected to the backup terminal. More particularly, the present invention relates to a single click retrieval system and method that retrieves from a backup server terminal data or file(s) that are newly created or changed or lost by a user terminal and stored on the backup server terminal for the purpose of backup.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[Received by the International Bureau on 11 June 2007 (11.06.07)]+ Statement
1. A single-click method for retrieving data from a backup server to at least one user terminal, said method comprising the steps of: a. generating a parking list containing entries of data to be retrieved; b. determining the feasibility of retrieving each entry in the parking list, thereby generating a rendered parking list; c. retrieving the data from the backup server on to the at least one user terminal in respect of each entry in the rendered parking list.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of generating the parking list comprises: a. receiving from the backup server a list of the data stored thereupon; b. generating a list of data stored on the user terminal; and c. comparing the backup server list and the user terminal list to generate the parking list, wherein each entry in the parking list is indicative of the data to be retrieved from the backup server.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the parking list thus generated is sort- able according to new data or missing data or changed data.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the parking list thus generated is categorize-able into a plurality of sub-categories based on the user terminal from which the data was uploaded or changed.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of determining the feasibility of retrieving an entry in the parking list comprises the step of: a. determining the validity of the data retrieval location; b. creating a new data retrieval location path if (i) a file is already present in selected data retrieval location or (ii) the data retrieval location can not be 15 created or (iii) the data retrieval location is one of a predetermined category; and c. placing the entry with the new data retrieval location path in the rendered parking list.
6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rendered parking list contains data entries which are feasible of being retrieved.
7. The method as claimed in any of the preceding claims, wherein in respect of entry in the parking list which is not feasible of being retrieved a Conflict Resolution Message is displayed to the user.
8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein in respect of entry in the parking list which is not feasible of being retrieved, providing an opportunity to the user for changing the data retrieval location.
9. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein if an entry in the parking list is not feasible of being retrieved because of a conflict in the data retrieval location, the user is provided with the option of overwrite, save on another location and skip.
10. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein if an entry in the parking list is not feasible of being retrieved because of a conflict in the data retrieval location, the user is provided with the option of selecting a fresh data retrieval location and skip.
11. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user is further provided with an option to decrypt and/or decompress if the backup information is stored on the server in encrypted and/or compressed format. 16
12. A system for retrieving data which is available on a backup server but lost or not available on at least one user terminal which is connected to the backup server, said system comprising: a. at least one user terminal (100); b. a backup server (110) for storing backup information / data on behalf of the user terminal; and a c. communication link (109) connecting the at least one user terminal with the backup server; wherein: the said at least one user terminal is provided with a receiver means (107) for receiving from the backup server (110) a list of the data stored thereupon on behalf of the user terminal, a means (102) for generating a list of data stored on the user terminal, a comparator means (101) for comparing the backup server list and the user terminal list and generating a "Parking List" that contains information regarding the data to be retrieved from the backup server; a temporary storage device (105) for storing the Parking List; a determining means (103) operatively coupled to the temporary storage device (105) for determining the feasibility of retrieval of each entry in the parking list; a retrieval means (104) for retrieving the data that are rendered valid by the determining means from the backup server on to the user terminal; and a display means (108) for displaying to the user information generated by the system.
13. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the determining means (103) comprises a sorting means to sort the parking list according to the new or missing or changed data.
14. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the determining means (103) comprises a categorizing means to sub-categorize the parking list based on the device from which the data was uploaded or changed. 17
15. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the display means (108) automatically displays to the user list of new, missing or changed data at the backup server.
16. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the determining means (103) generates a Conflict Resolution Message upon the display means (108) if it finds a conflict with the existing content on the same location are found and the user is provided with the option of overwrite, save on another location and skip.
17. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the user terminal (100) is optionally provided with a decryptor and/or a decompressor means (106), if the backup server (110) stores the backup information in encrypted and/or compressed format.
