Abstract
Managing backup copies in a right to delete personal data environment is described. A system creates a revised backup copy by deleting any data that a deletion request ledger specifies for deletion from a backup copy that was created for a data object. The system associates an updating time with the revised backup copy. The system retrieves the revised backup copy in response to receiving a restoration request corresponding to the revised backup copy. The system enables restoration of the data object by deleting any data i) that the deletion request ledger specifies for deletion from the revised backup copy and ii) that is associated with a deletion request time which is subsequent to the updating time.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
- create at least one revised backup copy by deleting data within each backup copy created for a data object, without waiting for any additional criteria for revising the backup copy to be met, in response to a deletion request received from a deletion request ledger, the deletion request ledger specifying the data to be deleted;
- associate an updating time with each revised backup copy;
- retrieve at least one revised backup copy in response to receiving a restoration request corresponding to the at least one revised backup copy;
- and
- enable restoration of the data object by deleting, from the at least one revised backup copy, data that is:
- i) specified by the deletion request ledger for deletion, and ii) associated with at least one deletion request having a deletion request time that is subsequent to the updating time associated with each revised backup copy.
A method comprising:
- creating at least one revised backup copy by deleting data within each backup copy created for a data object, without waiting for any additional criteria for revising the backup copy to be met, in response to a deletion request received from a deletion request ledger;
- associating an updating time with each revised backup copy;
- retrieving at least one revised backup copy in response to receiving a restoration request corresponding to the at least one revised backup copy;
- and
- enabling restoration of the data object by deleting, from the at least one revised backup copy, data that is:
- i) specified by the deletion request ledger for deletion, and ii) associated with at least one deletion request having a deletion request time that is subsequent to the updating time associated with each revised backup copy.
A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-readable program code embodied therein to be executed by one or more processors, the program code including instructions to:
- create at least one revised backup copy by deleting data within each backup copy created for a data object, without waiting for any additional criteria for revising the backup copy to be met, in response to a deletion request received from a deletion request ledger;
- associate an updating time with each revised backup copy;
- retrieve at least one revised backup copy in response to receiving a restoration request corresponding to the at least one revised backup copy;
- and
- enable restoration of the data object by deleting, from the at least one revised backup copy, data that is:
- i) specified by the deletion request ledger for deletion, and ii) associated with at least one deletion request having a deletion request time that is subsequent to the updating time associated with each revised backup copy.
