Abstract
Information management is disclosed. A file output from an application to an operating system is intercepted before the file output arrives at the operating system. The file output is directed towards protected data. The intercepted file output is analyzed to determine whether a predetermined type of version of the protected data has been created. In the event it is determined that the predetermined type of version of the protected data has been created at least in part because the analyzed intercepted file output includes a modification to the protected data, the protected data automatically backed up, including by storing at least a portion of the file output as a backup version of the protected data. In the event it is determined that the predetermined type of version of the protected data has not been created, the protected data is not backed up.
