Abstract: A system and method of performing an incremental backup process are disclosed. In certain aspects, the method comprises retrieving a first metadata associated with a previous backup process of a component from a backup location in a storage. The method further comprises passing the first metadata to the component for determining incremental backup data of the component corresponding to a difference between current data of the component and data of the component associated with the previous backup process. The method further comprises receiving information indicative of the incremental backup data from the component. The method further comprises receiving, from the component, a second metadata associated with the incremental backup process. The method also comprises storing the incremental backup data and the second metadata as associated with the incremental backup process.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for recommending and installing a patch onto a first computing device, comprising: parsing a machine-readable document for a property variable and a possible value of the property variable, wherein the combination of the property variable and the possible value represents a criticality of installing the patch; transmitting a request to the first computing device for a first value of the first computing device, the first value representing a state of the first computing device corresponding to the property variable; receiving the first value; comparing the possible value to the first value; based on the comparing, performing a first determination of the criticality of installing the patch onto the first computing device; and based on the criticality of installing the patch, installing the patch onto the first computing device.
