Abstract
A backup computer storage system that protects and/or recovers data on a primary computer storage system is disclosed. The backup computer system may be used to backup databases, files, and/or applications. The backup system may be used to backup an image of the primary computer system. The backup system may also be used to backup one or more databases. The backup system may replicate an image of data that is on a primary computer system. The backup system may also be used to restore data from the backup system to the primary computer system. The backup system may restore data to a database while non-affected portions of the database are available and can be used. The backup system may record all transactions in real time without overwriting any previously stored backup data. The backup system may maintain historical and/or chronological information related to the backed up data.
