Abstract
The invention relates to a method for automatically backing up digital data preserved in memory in a computer installation to a remote backup system accessible through the computer installation via a data transmission network. This method comprises extracting and analyzing information regarding the operation of the computer installation and determining parameters of a data backup application for saving data to the backup system. Based on the result of this analysis, the digital data preserved in memory is analyzed and the digital data analyzed is classified into a plurality of classes of different priorities. The backup application is also executed on at least part of the digital data based on the parameters and classes of priorities determined.
