Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method comprising: querying a network component in response to detection of a data loss with respect to a shared information source; receiving, at a component that is co-located with the shared information source and manages recovery of the shared information source, an identifier of a first user of the shared information source from the network component, wherein the identifier includes at least one of an Internet Protocol address, a login identifier, and an email address associated with the first user, wherein the first user provides data to the component in response to being identified to allow the component to determine whether one or more other users known to the first user also use the shared information source; identifying, at the component, one or more additional users of the shared information source based on analyzing, at the component, the data from the first user, wherein the one or more additional users each provide data to the component in response to being identified to allow the component to determine whether one or more other users known to the one or more additional users also use the shared information source; identifying, at the component, one or more further additional users of the shared information source based on analyzing, at the component, the data from the one or more additional users, wherein the one or more further additional users each provide data to the component in response to being identified to allow the component to determine whether one or more other users known to the one or more further additional users also use the shared information source; reconstructing the shared information source based at least in part on the data from one or more of the first user, the one or more additional users, and the one or more further additional users; conducting a comparison between the reconstructed shared information source and a previous shared information source; and generating a notification based on the comparison.
