TLDR
In this article, a storage access control system leverages a preexisting security infrastructure of a system to inform the proper access control that should be applied to data stored outside of its original location, such as a data backup.Abstract:
A method and system for controlling access to stored data is provided. The storage access control system leverages a preexisting security infrastructure of a system to inform the proper access control that should be applied to data stored outside of its original location, such as a data backup. The storage access control system may place similar access control restrictions on the backup files that existed on the original files. In this way, the backed up data is given similar protection as that of the original data.read more

System for backing up files from disk volumes on multiple nodes of a computer network
Douglas L. Whiting,Tom Dilatush +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a system for backuping files from disk volumes on multiple nodes of a computer network to a common random-access backup storage means, where duplicate files (or portions of files) may be identified across nodes, so that only a single copy of the contents of the duplicate files or portions thereof is stored in the backup storage mean.
