Backup data restoration without user intervention

A method comprising:

• causing, by a processor of an apparatus, a backup copy of local data to be stored at a remote backup storage system;
• determining that an accidental permanent deletion of the local data was performed;
• in response to the determination that the accidental permanent deletion of the local data was performed determining, by the processor, that a restoration of the backup copy front the remote backup storage system to the apparatus is to be performed without a user intervention that requests the restoration from the remote backup storage system;
• and
• receive, by the processor, the backup copy of the local data from the remote backup storage system to the apparatus responsive to the determination that the restoration of the backup copy to the apparatus is to be performed.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing machine readable instructions that when executed by a processor of an apparatus, cause the processor to:

• transmit a backup copy of local data to a remote backup storage system;
• determine that the local data has changed relative to the backup copy, including determining that an accidental permanent deletion of the local data was performed;
• in response to the determination that the accidental permanent deletion of the local data was performed, determine that the backup copy is to be restored from the remote backup storage system without a user intervention;
• transmit, to the remote backup storage system, a request to restore the backup copy;
• receive the backup copy from the remote backup storage system;
• and
• store the backup copy to replace the local data.

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium on which is stored instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• cause a backup copy of local data to be stored in a remote backup storage system;
• determine that the backup copy is to be restored from the remote backup storage system to the apparatus without a user intervention;
• transmit, to the remote backup storage system, a first request o restore the backup copy;
• and.
• receive the backup copy from the remote backup storage system,
• wherein the apparatus is a replacement apparatus that replaced a prior apparatus, and wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• identify a prior backup copy of prior local data stored at the prior apparatus;
• determine that the prior backup copy is to be restored from the remote backup storage system without a user intervention that requests that the prior backup copy be restored from the remote backup storage system;
• transmit, to the remote backup storage system, a second request to restore the prior backup copy;
• and
• receive the prior backup copy from the remote backup storage system.
