Abstract
The present invention discloses an information backup method in the field of computer technologies. A log file is monitored at an electronic device that comprises a local memory. A first part of the log file is determined to be associated with a first subset of operations that comprise a first action of uninstalling a specific application. In accordance with the determination, user information that is associated with the specific application is stored in the local memory, and the user information may comprise a user database, a configuration file and a private file generated and updated when a user uses the specific application. A second part of the log file is further determined to be associated with a second subset of operations that comprise a second action of reinstalling the specific application. The user information is extracted from the local memory for use in the second action of reinstalling the specific application.
