    摘要: A method, executed by at least one processor, includes generating a snapshot for a plurality of data files, receiving an update request for a selected file of the plurality of data files, determining if the selected file is subject to a backup policy, updating the selected file without preserving the snapshot of the selected file if the selected file is not subject to the backup policy, and updating the selected file while preserving the snapshot of the selected file if the selected file is subject to the backup policy. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed herein.

    摘要: Provided are techniques for organizing a temporary device group for collaborative computing. A list of functions for each of a plurality of devices are stored. A determination is made to form a device group including a receiver device from the plurality of devices, where the receiver device will perform one of the functions. An individual function usage score is generated. In response to the individual function usage score exceeding a device threshold, a request to form a device group is sent to the receiver device. In response to receiving an indication of acceptance to form the device group from the receiving device, the device group is formed for a temporary period, where functions and data are shared in the device group.

    摘要: A backup method is provided for a file system for managing hierarchical storage including one or more storage media on a computer system including one or more computers. Each of the one or more storage media includes a data part which is separated from an index and on which updated information is appended and kept. Each of a plurality of pieces of data within the file system is managed to be migrated to at least any of the one or more storage media. The backup method includes backing up metadata of the plurality of pieces of data migrated within the file system; and backing up the index of each of the one or more storage media to which the plurality of pieces of data have been migrated, substantially at the same time point as the metadata.

    摘要: A method executed by a mobile apparatus for verifying event information to be shared is disclosed. The method includes communicating with a nearby mobile or immobile apparatus to generate a verification in response to encountering the nearby mobile or immobile apparatus. The method also includes verifying existence of an incident event in response to arriving at a place of the incident event. The method further includes publishing a verified incident event in order to add into an incident event distributed ledger used for managing event information related to the incident event.

    摘要: An information processing apparatus, backup method, and program product that enable efficient differential backup. In one embodiment, an information processing apparatus for files stored in a storage device includes: a metadata management unit for managing metadata of files stored in the storage device; a map generation unit for generating a map which indicates whether metadata associated with an identification value uniquely identifying a file in the storage device is present or absent; and a backup management unit for scanning the metadata to detect files that have been created, modified, or deleted since the last backup, and storing at least a data block and the metadata for a detected file in a backup storage device as backup information in association with the identification value.
