First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for restoring configuration data, the system comprising:
- a group of target devices, each of which has original configuration data thereof;
a source device transferring restore configuration data via a network; and
a data restore device connected to the source device and the group of target devices via the network, respectively, the data restore device comprising;
a storage; and
a utility storing the restore configuration data of the source device transferred via the network from the source device to the storage, transferring the restore configuration data of the source device from the storage to selected target devices of the group and instructing each selected target device of the group to cover the original configuration data thereof with the restore configuration data of the source device.

Abstract
The invention provides a convenient and rapid concurrent manner to restore a group of target devices. Restore configuration data from a source device is transferred to the group of target devices by a data restore device over a network. The data restore device instructs each target device to partially cover original configuration data with the restore configuration data so as to restore the target devices. By using the present invention, it takes only a very short period of time to restore the target devices in one group even the number of target devices in this group is great.
