Abstract:
1. A method for replicating a client data set on a computer, comprising: replicating the client data set using an application software on the computer, wherein the application software receives inputs from a web user portal to control operations of the client software and a server to store data regardless of file system format; generating a manifest of a target data set during replication containing a state of a target data reflecting a post-update state, wherein the manifest includes a signature of each file as well as a list of meta data including “last modified time” and “file size”, after a synchronization, transferring the manifest to the server and storing the manifest for subsequent asynchronous comparison on an item by item basis; translating between an original native file system into a split file system with metadata and file data stored separately on the server with a file system format and linked using folder proximity and file name to provide file system independence and access by the computer to files on the server regardless of operating system; and determining differences between the local data and manifest to determine required backup operations.
