Method of safeguarding computer data, uses a backup server hard disk as buffer for transfer of data to backup tape along with structural data stored in a database to facilitate access when reconstructing data

摘要

The data backup system transfers data to be backed up from a client computer to a buffer memory provided by the hard disk of a backup server, organized in multiple volumes of predetermined size. The data is then transferred from the disk to a tape backup. The data transferred to the tape includes structural data that is stored in a database to facilitate access.
