One implementation of a method for providing backup storage services for encrypted data includes receiving signatures of convergently encrypted portions of data from client computers, determining whether the encrypted portions are already present on a backup storage, and obtaining only the needed portions. Users unassociated with a particular user account are denied access to information backed up in that account. The backup storage also stores password protected key files holding signatures of the unencrypted portions of data. One implementation of a system includes a memory, a single-instance storage circuit, a user account management circuit, and a signature index. The memory holds a user-account database and backup copies of convergently encrypted portions of data. The single-instance storage circuit uses the signature index to prevent duplicative backup copies. The user account management circuit responds to download requests after authenticating the user information associated with the requested data.

Backup service and appliance with single-instance storage of encrypted data

The embodiments herein relate to discrete data containers and, more particularly, to management of data stored in discrete data containers. Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems to update data present within a data container, when a user accessing the data, present within the data container, has updated the data. Embodiments herein disclose a method and system for enabling modifications of data present in data containers, wherein de-containerized data associated with a data container can be modified by at least one user and the modifications by the user can be reflected in real-time to the data in the data container.

Methods and systems for management of data stored in discrete data containers

Disclosed herein are a method and a system for discrete data containerization for Information Rights Management. The system identifies based on a user request, data to be containerized. Further, the system receives at least one rule based on the data and attributes, which is to be used for containerizing the data. Further, using the rule, the system containerizes the data, wherein the data is containerized at individual data level.

A method, system and computer-readable medium for providing rapid failback of a computer system is described. The method, which operates during failback of a secondary computer to a primary computer, accesses a map to determine a location of a latest version of data corresponding to a read request, where the location may be within either a primary data storage or a secondary data storage. The system comprises a primary computer coupled to a primary data storage and a secondary computer coupled to a secondary data storage. The primary computer maintains a write log and the secondary computer maintains a map. The computer-readable medium contains instructions, which, when executed by a processor, performs the steps embodied by the method.

A method and apparatus for automatically archiving data items from backup storage without having to first restore the data items is provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises processing at least one data item in backup storage using a mapping, wherein the mapping indicates at least one location of the at least one data item and ingesting the at least one data item into an archive database.

Method and apparatus for automatically archiving data items from backup storage

The embodiments herein relate to data management and, more particularly, to global deduplication and encryption of data in data management systems. The user equipments (UE) are grouped under certain deduplication groups based on certain parameters such as rate of data exchange, frequency of data exchange, social closeness, work closeness, similarity of data and interests and so on, between those UEs. Further, specific deduplication and encryption parameters such as encryption method, encryption key, signature computation method, block computation method and so on are assigned to each group. Further, deduplication and encryption of data in each group is performed using the deduplication and encryption modes and parameters assigned to each group. The deduplication and encryption of data is performed in at least one of the UEs and/or a server. Further, the parameters used for deduplication and encryption are stored in specific databases and are encrypted for better security.

System and method for combining deduplication and encryption of data

A method and apparatus for preventing data leakage of e-discovery data items is provided. In one embodiment, the method for automatically configuring e-discovery data for data leakage prevention includes processing filtering information regarding at least one e-discovery data item that is selected for data leakage prevention and generating data leakage prevention information for the selected at least one e-discovery data item, wherein the data leakage prevention information is used to filter the at least one data item.

Method and apparatus for preventing data leakage of e-discovery data items

Various methods and systems for performing cascaded replication are disclosed. For example, one method involves receiving an acknowledgment at a primary replication site from an intermediate replication site. The acknowledgment identifies whether a change has been applied to a remote replication site. The method also involves updating a journal, in response to the acknowledgment. The journal identifies whether the change is currently being replicated. The method can also involve detecting that the intermediate replication site is inaccessible. In response, the method synchronizes a copy of application data at the remote replication site by applying one or more changes identified in the journal to the copy of the application data at the remote replication site.

Various methods and systems for automatically obtaining documents that are referenced by an electronic communication, such as an email or instant message, for archival are disclosed. One method involves searching at least a portion (e.g., the header and/or body) of an electronic communication for a reference to a document and, in response to detecting the reference, automatically obtaining an electronic copy of the document. The electronic copy of the document can then be archived.

Automated dereferencing of electronic communications for archival

Data uploaded from a mobile unit to a remote site can be buffered at an intermediate wireless base station, allowing an initial wireless link to be rapidly terminated and freed for other uses. In one implementation, a method includes forming a wireless link between a device and a first wireless receiver site, receiving a portion of a data set from the device, relinquishing the wireless link, and then transmitting the portion of the data set from the first wireless receiver site to a service provider. In another implementation, a method includes receiving, via an intermediate wireless base station, a backup request and a portion of data to be backed up from a device. The portion of the data to be backed up is received after a wireless link between the device and the wireless base station has been terminated.

Data transfers from mobile devices with cell-site staging

Various methods and systems for automatically ranking electronic communications such as emails based on both content and social factors are disclosed. One method assigns a rank to an electronic communication, where assigning the rank involves both assigning a content-based rank to the electronic communication and assigning a social rank to the electronic communication. The rank assigned to the electronic communication can include both the content-based and social rank. Alternatively, the rank can be derived from the content-based and social ranks (e.g., the rank can be an average of the content-based and social ranks).

Automated ranking of electronic communications

A method and apparatus for providing a message trail of conversationally related messages is described. In one embodiment, the method for providing a message trail of conversationally related messages includes processing a plurality of messages in a message database and identifying at least two conversationally related messages of the plurality of messages.
