20080235299 | DETERMINING WHICH USER FILES TO BACKUP IN A BACKUP SYSTEM - A backup program, method and system is disclosed that monitors changes to a file in a storage, checks whether backup settings related to the file already exist and requests and applies backup settings related to the file in response to the file being changed if they do not. The backup settings are applied to control operation of a backup system to make one or more backup copies of the file. The backup settings may be electively saved to be applied automatically in the event of future changes to the file without requesting the settings. One or more lists may be used to identify (e.g. include or exclude) files for backup. Files may be identified by different categories including file name, file type, or file type group associated with a particular application. A typical backup system may save backup copies to a storage area network, e.g. controlled by a backup server. | 09-25-2008 |
20100261456 | Method and System for Providing Low-Complexity Voice Messaging - A voice messaging system includes a transceiver, an indicator, a microphone, and a speaker. The transceiver is operable to receive a message from the Internet, and the indicator is operable to announce that the message has been received. The microphone is operable to receive a verbal request to play the message, and the speaker is operable to play the recorded message in response to receiving the verbal request. | 10-14-2010 |
20110118554 | DEVICE-ASSISTED SOCIAL NETWORKING FOR HEALTH MANAGEMENT - Device-assisted social networking for health management, in one aspect, collects health related information associated with one or more users, performs analysis and publishes data resulting from the analyzing to a social networking website associated with one or more users, wherein the data may be shared among the users in a group for peer encouragement in habits that would improve the users' health conditions. | 05-19-2011 |
20110202368 | EMAILING/TEXTING BIOMETRIC DATA FOR AUTOMATIC EMR INCORPORATION - A message from a device may be automatically identified by an identifier associated with the message or the device or combination thereof. The identifier may be mapped to a user record in a database. The message may be parsed into health related data associated with the user. The health related data is automatically stored into the user record of the database. | 08-18-2011 |
20120216075 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE FOR SYSTEM RECOVERY - Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for system recovery. An operating system and a backup copy of the operating system are both maintained in a partition of a computational device. A boot loader receives an indication to load the backup copy of the operating system. The boot loader loads the backup copy of the operating system. The computational device is rebooted with the loaded backup copy of the operating system. | 08-23-2012 |

20080294860 | SYSTEM AND PROGRAM FOR REPLICATING A FILE - Provided are a method, system, and program for replicating a file. A file is copied to a target storage file system stored as a base file. A reference file comprising the copied file is generated at a local storage. An update is applied to the file at the local storage. A delta file is generated indicating differences between the updated file at the local storage and the reference file. A file system command is used to transmit the delta file to the target storage file system store to store in a directory of the target storage file system, wherein the file in the local storage is replicated at the target storage by a combination of the base file and the delta file. | 11-27-2008 |
20110225413 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE FOR SYSTEM RECOVERY - Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for system recovery. An operating system and a backup copy of the operating system are both maintained in a partition of a computational device. A boot loader receives an indication to load the backup copy of the operating system. The boot loader loads the backup copy of the operating system. The computational device is rebooted with the loaded backup copy of the operating system. | 09-15-2011 |
20110276540 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM FOR ARCHIVING FILES - Provided are a method, system, and program for archiving files. A hierarchical file system having directories is provided. An archival retention policy is associated with at least one of the directories in the hierarchical file system, wherein the retention policy applies to files included in the associated directory, and wherein the retention policy specifies a retention time indicating a time period during which a file is subject to the retention policy. | 11-10-2011 |
20140244593 | Method, System, and Program for Archiving Files - Provided are a method, system, and program for archiving files. A hierarchical file system having directories is provided. An archival retention policy is associated with at least one of the directories in the hierarchical file system, wherein the retention policy applies to files included in the associated directory, and wherein the retention policy specifies a retention time indicating a time period during which a file is subject to the retention policy. | 08-28-2014 |
