Abstract
In an information processing system, a management apparatus reads all data from a storage device connected to an information processing apparatus, and stores the data as one image file in a backup storage device. A virus detection apparatus performs a virus detection process on the image file stored in the backup storage device in response to a request from the management apparatus, and if a computer virus is detected, performs a virus removal process on the image file. When the virus removal process is completed, the management apparatus reads and writes the image file from the backup storage device back to the storage device.
Claims11
An information processing system comprising:
- a management apparatus that includes:
- a backup unit to read all data from a protected storage device connected to a protected information processing apparatus, and store the read all data as one image file in a backup storage device,
- a virus detection request unit to make a request for performing a virus detection process on the image file stored in the backup storage device, and
- a restore unit to read and write the image file from the backup storage device back to the protected storage device upon reception of a completion notification of a virus removal process that is performed on the image file when a computer virus is detected in the image file by the virus detection process performed in response to the request;
- and
- a virus detection apparatus that includes:
- a virus detection unit to perform the virus detection process on the image file stored in the backup storage device in response to the request from the virus detection request unit, and
- a virus removal unit to perform the virus removal process on the image file when the computer virus is detected in the image file, and output the completion notification to the restore unit after completing the virus removal process.

A management apparatus comprising:
- a backup unit that reads all data from a protected storage device connected to a protected information processing apparatus, and stores the read all data as one image file in a backup storage device;
- a virus detection request unit that requests a virus detection apparatus to perform a virus detection process on the image file stored in the backup storage device;
- and
- a restore unit that reads and writes the image file from the backup storage device back to the protected storage device upon receipt of a completion notification of a virus removal process from the virus detection apparatus, the virus removal process being performed on the image file when a computer virus is detected in the image file by the virus detection process performed in response to the request.

A management apparatus comprising:
- a backup unit that reads all data from a protected storage device connected to a protected information processing apparatus, and stores the read all data as one image file in a backup storage device;
- a virus detection unit that performs a virus detection process on the image file stored in the backup storage device;
- a virus removal unit that performs a virus removal process on the image file when a computer virus is detected in the image file;
- and
- a restore unit that reads and writes the image file cleaned by the virus removal process from the backup storage device back to the protected storage device after the virus removal unit completes the virus removal process.

An information processing method comprising:
- reading, by a management apparatus, all data from a protected storage device connected to a protected information processing apparatus, and storing the read all data as one image file in a backup storage device;
- requesting, by the management apparatus, a virus detection apparatus to perform a virus detection process on the image file stored in the backup storage device;
- performing, by the virus detection apparatus, the virus detection process on the image file stored in the backup storage device in response to a request from the management apparatus;
- performing, by the virus detection apparatus, a virus removal process on the image file when a computer virus is detected in the image file, and outputting a completion notification to the management apparatus after completing the virus removal process;
- reading and writing, by the management apparatus, the image file from the backup storage device back to the protected storage device upon receipt of the completion notification of the virus removal process performed on the image file.
2 more elements
An information processing method to be executed by a computer, the method comprising a procedure of:
- reading all data from a protected storage device connected to a protected information processing apparatus, and storing the read all data as one image file in a backup storage device;
- performing a virus detection process on the image file stored in the backup storage device;
- performing a virus removal process on the image file when a computer virus is detected in the image file;
- and
- reading and writing the image file from the backup storage device back to the protected storage device after a virus removal process is performed on the image file.
