A backup procedure which performs a systematic analysis of the different elements of the configuration, for the purpose of transforming them into a corresponding set of backup objects. Backup objects include files, directories, volume names or labels, security attributes (Access Control Lists in Windows NT), as well as OS-specific markers which are dependent on a specific file, such as, for instance an entry in the FAT for MS-DOS. Each backup object is being systematically analysed and sent to a remote server with its identification, attributes, signature and content the backup process takes advantage of the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and each backup object is being encapsulated within a HTTP or HTTPS POST or PUT request which is transmitted to a remote server. The backup procedure is associated with a process for automatically creating a bootable CDROM having a bootable partition comprising a set of files systems driver for controlling different file system types, such as NTFS, FAT, FAT32, i-NODE, but also CDFS, and an executable file for carrying out the automatic re-establishment of the backup objects corresponding to a user's configuration.
