Abstract
A computer network includes endpoint computers and a file history server with a file history database. An endpoint agent in an endpoint computer detects file access events in the endpoint computer and generates file activity data for storage in the file history database. The file activity data may include file access event information of file access events and file information of files involved in the file access events. The endpoint agent may consult the file history database to locate a duplicate of a damaged file in another endpoint computer, and restore the damaged file using the duplicate. A backup and restore program may also consult the file history database to determine whether or not to make a backup copy of a file involved in a file access event.
