Abstract

The invention discloses a user data backup method, comprising: searching a local computer of a user for an editable document; according to a search result, marking the editable document as data with backup requirement; and backing up the data with backup requirement in a storage device on a network side. Also disclosed is another user data backup method, comprising: monitoring a removable storage device connection status of a local computer of a user; if it is detected that a removable storage device is connected to the local computer, marking data in the device as data with backup requirement; and backing up the data with backup requirement in a storage device on a network side. Further disclosed is yet another user data backup method, comprising: monitoring a resource class temporary file generated in a local system; uploading the resource class temporary file to a storage device on a network side; and according to an access requirement of the local system, providing the local system with download of the uploaded resource class temporary file.

Claims

1. A user data backup method, comprising:

searching a local computer of a user for an editable document;

according to a search result, marking the editable document as data with backup requirement; and

backing up the data with backup requirement in a storage device on a network side.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said searching a local computer of a user for an editable document comprises:

searching a local computer of a user for a specific type of editable document.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said marking the editable document as data with backup requirement comprises one or more of the following three ways:

marking an editable document of a document size more than a preset threshold as data with backup requirement;

monitoring whether the size or modification time of a document has been changed, and if it has been changed, marking the document as data with backup requirement; and

monitoring the frequency of opening a document by the user, and if the frequency is greater than a preset threshold, marking the document as data with backup requirement.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein said backing up the data with backup requirement in a storage device on a network side comprises:

backing up different versions of an editable document in a storage device on a network side, respectively, according to the editing time;

or

backing up only a final version of an editable document in a storage device on a network side.

5-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A user data backup method, comprising:

monitoring a removable storage device connection status of a local computer of a user;

if it is monitored that a removable storage device is connected to the local computer, marking data in the removable storage device as data with backup requirement; and

backing up the data with backup requirement in a storage device on a network side.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein said marking data in the removable storage device as data with backup requirement comprises one or more of the following three ways:

marking data located at a specific storage position in the removable storage device as data with backup requirement;

marking data of a specific type in the removable storage device as data with backup requirement; and

marking an editable document, an image document and/or a recording document in the removable storage device as data with backup requirement.

13-16. -16. (canceled)

17. A user data backup method, comprising:

monitoring a resource class temporary file generated in a local system;

backing up the resource class temporary file in a storage device on a network side; and

providing the local system with download of the backed-up resource class temporary file according to an access requirement of the local system.

18. The method according to claim 17, wherein

said backing up the resource class temporary file in a storage device on a network side comprises:

uploading the resource class temporary file to a storage device on a network side; and

said providing the local system with download of the backed-up resource class temporary file according to an access requirement of the local system comprises;

providing the local system with download of the uploaded resource class temporary file according to an access requirement of the local system.

19. The method according to claim 17, wherein the resource class temporary file comprises:

a media file, an editable file and/or a web page cache file temporarily stored in the local system.

20. The method according to claim 17, wherein said monitoring a resource class temporary file generated in a local system comprises:

monitoring a specific temporary storage position in the local system and obtaining a resource class temporary file written to the temporary storage position; and

/or

monitoring a startup behavior of a specific application and obtaining a resource class temporary file opened after the startup of the application.

21. The method according to claim 17, further comprising:

monitoring whether the temporary file has been modified, and if yes, uploading the modified file to the storage device on the network side.

22. The method according to claim 21, wherein said uploading the modified file to the storage device on the network side comprises:

uploading periodically different modified versions of the temporary file to the storage device on the network side respectively;

or

uploading only a final modified version of the temporary file to the storage device on the network side.

23. The method according to claim 17, wherein the access requirement of the local system comprises:

access to a network address of the storage device on the network side by the local system, or

detection of a non-normal shutdown of the system or an application resulting from a failure of the local system.

24. The method according to claim 17, wherein said providing the local system with download of the uploaded resource class temporary file comprises:

providing the local system with download of the uploaded resource class temporary file after confirming the access right of the local system.
