A method for creating an archive protection plan for archiving a backup of data is provided. An indication of an archive data protection kind and an archive data protection duration are received. In response to receiving the archive data protection kind and the archive data protection duration, an archive scheme is determined and an archive protection plan representative of the archive scheme is generated.

Method, system, and apparatus for creating an archive routine for protecting data in a data protection system

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a method for efficiently inventorying a plurality of items of media contained in a library is provided. The method includes reading a barcode located on an item of media that contains contents and determining whether the barcode is known. Optionally, the method may also determine if the know item of media was previously offline. If it is determined that the barcode is known, the media is identified as known. However, if it is determined that the barcode is not known, a detailed inventory of the contents of the item of media is performed. In one embodiment, if it is determined that the barcode is not known, a user is notified that a new item of media has been identified.

Method and system for improving management of media used in archive applications

A method for verifying data copies generated by a data protection system is provided. In accordance with the method, intents for selecting a data copy to be verified are determined. The intents may specify a time period after which data is to be verified and an interval for which the verification is to be repeated. Additionally, utilizing the intents, a data copy matching those intents is identified and verified. A data copy may be verified by comparing a checksum of the data copy with a known checksum value. If the data copy fails to be verified, a copy of the data copy is generated.

Exemplary devices and/or methods optionally compile a programming language code associated with one framework to a code associated with another framework; and/or convert a code associated with one framework to a code associated with another framework. The aforementioned devices and/or methods optionally include, but are not limited to, features for supporting framework differences in object hierarchy, exceptions, type characteristics, reflection transparency, and/or scoping, and features for supporting differences in class loading.

Lazy loading with code conversion

To enhance portability of programming languages and compiled codes, methods and/or devices optionally compile a programming language code associated with one framework to a code associated with another framework and/or convert a code associated with one framework to a code associated with another framework. The aforementioned converters and/or methods include, but are not limited to, features for supporting framework differences in object hierarchy, exceptions, type characteristics, reflection transparency, and/or scoping.
