    摘要: Described is a system and method for allowing applications to interact with a common backup program in a uniform way. The system and method provides a communication mechanism for one or more applications to exchange information with the backup program regarding components of the applications. The information exchanged may include an identification of the components of each application. A component may be considered a group of files or resources that should be backed up or restored together. In this way, when a backup operation is initiated, each application may provide to the common backup program instructions describing the specific components to be backed up. In addition, each application may add other application-specific information useful during a restore of the backed up data.

    摘要: A backup file is generated to capture the current state of a computer. The computer state may be restored to the computer in a hybrid manner at a later time by accessing some files and/or data included in the backup file and downloading other files contained in a list in the backup file. By listing some files rather than including the actual files in the backup file, the backup file may be generated faster and require less processing and memory resources. When the computer state is restored, secondary files and computer state data contained in the backup file are installed to the computer. A list of primary files in the backup file is accessed, each primary file is retrieved from one or more remote publishers over a network, and the retrieved primary files are installed.

    摘要: The invention provides a method and system for arbitrating for ownership of a logical quorum resource, such as a logical quorum volume, comprising one or more physical quorum resources so as to form a storage network having a plurality of storage devices. Arbitration and volume management responsibilities are cleanly divided between cluster management software and volume management software. The cluster management software handles the arbitration process without knowing the details of how the logical quorum resource is formed. The volume management software handles the formation and management of the logical quorum volume without having details of the arbitration process.
