摘要:
A method of automatically classifying clients into different backup policy groups according to pre-selected criteria, such as type of client, whether the client is a server, a desktop or a mobile computer, the department or business unit, or even the user. The method uses information obtained from the client itself to classify the client. This information includes the kind of processor platform and operating system in the client, the type and version of software being run, and whether the client has a battery, indicating that it is a mobile computer. Other information that can be used to classify the client for backup may be obtained from information that identifies the user, the department to which the client is assigned, and the location in which it is used. The process enables a mobile client traveling to another site of an enterprise to connect to a local LAN of the enterprise and be authenticated for backup, and to be automatically assigned an appropriate backup classification.

A system for generating a colored light comprises a set of illuminant types and a processor. The set of illuminant types is associated with a chromaticity gamut, and the set of illuminant types comprises at least five illuminant types that are each associated with an illuminant type hue angle. The processor is configured to determine, based at least in part on a mapping, a sequence of one or more output level sets that are associated with changing a first generated colored light associated with a first color coordinate to a second generated colored light associated with a second color coordinate. The mapping comprises associating each color coordinate with an output level set that uses a set of hue-adjacent illuminant types. Hue-adjacent illuminant types comprise a group of illuminant types that are determined to be adjacent in a circular ordered list of illuminant types which is circularly ordered according to the illuminant type hue angle.

A backup system is operated in accordance with a server or intelligent storage data controller containing a pre-written script governing a backup protocol. This script designates the possible source of data for backup that could become visible on the network and the possible storage sets that may be available in the storage repository. Preferably, the script also contains a timetable for when the script should be active, and wrap up interval of time for intelligently terminating a particular backup operation. In operation, the total number of accessible data sources (usually computers) and the total number of storage media destinations (for example available tapes mounted in tape drives) are generated to list possible source to storage paths. Utilizing the script, the possible source to storage paths are prioritized with the least recently backed up source as dated by the available media having first priority for backup. Once prioritization has occurred, backup is initiated in the order of prioritization to the first available of the designated source to storage media paths. This designation of source to media available paths continues down through the prioritized source to storage paths, initiating backup when the source and media are available. As each backup is completed, a new prioritization of source to media paths occurs responsive to location of the last backed up source, with backup occurring on the first available source to media path. Scripts can be tailored to prioritize backups dependent upon time of day. There results a fully automated backup which once programmed does not require constant supervisor monitoring.
