Abstract
A method for the administration of a differential file backup system in a client-server system is disclosed in which the various component files that comprise a backup file are read from a first memory device of the file backup system to a second memory device and processed by the server. The server processes the various file components, or archive files in which the various file components reside, to reduce the number of access points across the first memory device to enhance the efficiency of the file retrieval, file reconstruction, and file restore operations of the backup file system.
