<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for storing electronic data that does not depend on a format specific to a storage device. <P>SOLUTION: The system receives data to be stored from a back-up server, compresses and encrypts it, and creates a virtual file. An encryption key and "meta-data", which includes information about the physical attributes of electronic data in the virtual file, are also created by the system. The virtual file, with meta-data, can then be held at a storage device without specifically formatting the virtual file for the device. The encryption key is held separately for subsequent use in file reconstruction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
