Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/065271
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed for providing continuous file protection in a computer processing system. In accordance with an embodiment, the system includes a configuration module, a filter driver, and a storage module. The configuration module permits a user to elect certain files or folders for protection. The configuration module runs at an application layer without involving the computer processing system's operating system. The filter driver intercepts and splits write input and outputs addressed at protected files or folders. The storage module is also run without involving the computer processing system's operating system. The storage module is for performing functions including data logging, version managements, and data recovery.
