Abstract

We present a system which enables a user to remove a file from both the file system and all the backup tapes on which the file is stored. The ability to remove files from all backup tapes is desirable in many cases. Our system erases information from the backup tape without actually writing on the tape. This is achieved by applying cryptography in a new way: a block cipher is used to enable the system to "forget" information rather than protect it. Our system is easy to install and is transparent to the end user. Further, it introduces no slowdown in system performance and little slowdown in the backup procedure.

A revocable backup system

Recommendations

Implementation of a stackable file system for real-time network backup

We propose a backup system based on a stackable mirroring file system, general-purpose mirroring file system (GMFS). This file system mirrors data in real-time on the file system layer. It uses the typical network file system (NFS) and backs up data to ...

ICUIMC '09: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Management and Communication

This paper proposes a backup system based on mirroring filesystem "GMFS." GMFS has been developed to mirror data in realtime on the filesystem layer. The GMFS is a stackable filesystem which flexibly mirrors without changing the existing environment by ...
