| 20080307019 | Manipulating Electronic Backups - Systems and methods are provided for storing and restoring digital data. In some implementations, a method is provided. The method includes initiating a backup operation of data including a plurality of items, interrupting the backup operation, where interrupting occurs after a portion of the data has been completed, receiving an input to resume the backup operation, identifying a previously completed portion of the backup data, and performing a backup of a remaining uncompleted portion of the backup data. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding systems, apparatus, computer program products, and computer readable media. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090106758 | File system reliability using journaling on a storage medium - Improving file system reliability in storage mediums after a data corrupting event using file system journaling is described. In one embodiment, a method, which includes scanning beyond an active transactions region within the file system journal to locate additional valid transactions for replay to bring the storage medium into a consistent state; the scanning performed until an invalid transaction is reached. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090183108 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING DATA - Systems and methods for managing data, such as metadata. In one exemplary method, metadata from files created by several different software applications are captured, and the captured metadata is searched. The type of information in metadata for one type of file differs from the type of information in metadata for another type of file. Other methods are described and data processing systems and machine readable media are also described. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090216776 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING DATA - Methods and systems for managing an index database. In one exemplary method, an index database is stored on a machine readable volume with an operating system and the files which have been indexed, and then the volume is, after the storing, made available for distribution to licensees or customers. In this manner, the volume will include a previously created index database, allowing a user to begin use of the index database without having to perform an indexing operation. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090254591 | Manipulating Electronic Backups - Systems and methods are provided for storing and restoring digital data. In some implementations, a method is provided. The method includes initiating a backup operation of data including a plurality of items, interrupting the backup operation, where interrupting occurs after a portion of the data has been completed, receiving an input to resume the backup operation, identifying a previously completed portion of the backup data, and performing a backup of a remaining uncompleted portion of the backup data. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding systems, apparatus, computer program products, and computer readable media. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20100145949 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING DATA - Systems and methods for managing data, such as metadata or indexes of content of files. In one exemplary method, notifications to update a metadata database or an index database are combined into a combined notification. According to other aspects, an order among logical locations on a storage device is determined in order to specify a sequence for scanning for files to be indexed. According to another aspect, a method includes determining whether to index a file based on a path name of the file relative to a plurality of predetermined path names. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100306187 | Methods And Systems For Managing Data - Methods and systems for processing data, including metadata and an index database. In one exemplary method, a first folder, representing a first search query, is stored, and a second folder, representing a second search query wherein the second folder has a predetermined hierarchical relationship to the first folder, is stored, and the search queries are used to search one or both of an index database and a metadata database. In the metadata database, the type of metadata for one file type differs from the type of metadata for another file type. | 12-02-2010 |
