Abstract
The invention relates to a method of parallel transmission of data files from computers in a computer packet network and storage of said data files in a backup system connected to said network. The method comprises the steps of establishing connections between at least two backup application agents of at least two computers and teh backup managing means of said bckup system, parallel transmission of data files from at least one computer with some form of identification from said at least one backup application agent to said backup managing means, and storage of said data files in one or more databases of said backup system. The invention also relates to a backup system and a computer program product.
Claims27
Method of parallel transmission of data files from computers in a computer network and storage of said data files in a backup system connected to said network, said method comprising the steps of
- establishing parallel data communicating connections between at least two backup application agents of at least two computers and the backup managing means of said backup system,
- parallel transmission or allowing transmission of data files from at least one computer with identification codes from said at least one backup application agent to said backup managing means, and
- storage of said data files in one or more databases of said backup system.
Parallel backup system comprising
- at least two computers (WS1, WS2, WS3) connected in a computer network (2), said computers including at least two backup application agents (BUA1, BUA2, BUA3),
- at least one backup server (BUS1, BUS2) including
- at least one database,
- backup managing means (8) capable of establishing data communication connections to said backup application agents (BUA1, BUA2, BUA3) and data connections to said at least one database, and
- said backup application agents (8) incorporating means for continuously or discontinuously transmitting or allowing transmission of data files of said computers in a parallel manner to said backup managing means (8) subsequent to establishment of said data communication connections, and
- said backup managing means (8) storing said data files in said at least one database.
Computer program product stored on a computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer readable program code:
- method of parallel transmission of data files from computers in a computer network and storage of said data files in a backup system connected to said network, said method comprising the steps of
- establishing connections between at least two backup application agents of at least two computers and the backup managing means of said backup system,
- parallel transmission of data files from at least one computer with identification codes from said at least one backup application agent to said backup managing means, and
- storage of said data files in one or more databases of said backup system.
