INSTALLING APPLICATIONS VIA RESTORATION OF A FALSE BACKUP
First Claim
1. A method of bulk installing on a first digital electronic device, from a second digital electronic device in communication with the first digital electronic device, a first plurality of applications, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving by the second digital electronic device instruction to install, in bulk, the first plurality of applications on the first digital electronic device, the first plurality of applications not already installed on the first digital electronic device or the second digital electronic device;
(b) creating by the second digital electronic device a false backup archive containing the first plurality of applications, the false backup archive having sufficient attributes of a true backup archive creatable by a backup operation in respect of the first digital electronic device to be compatible with a restoration operation corresponding to the backup operation, the restoration operation executable to transfer contents of the false backup archive to a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of the first digital electronic device; and
(c) causing by the second digital electronic device execution of the restoration operation, whereby the first plurality of applications is bulk installed on the first digital electronic device.

31. A digital electronic installation device for bulk installing, on a digital electronic target device, a first plurality of applications, the installation device comprising:
-
a communication interface structured and configured to communicate with the target device, and at least one processor operationally connected with the communication interface and structured and configured to; (a) receive instruction to install, in bulk, the first plurality of applications on the target device, the first plurality of applications not already installed on the target device or the installation device; (b) create a false backup archive containing the first plurality of applications, the false backup archive having sufficient attributes of a true backup archive creatable by a backup operation in respect of the target device to be compatible with a restoration operation corresponding to the backup operation, the restoration operation executable to transfer contents of the false backup archive to a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of the target device; and (c) cause execution of the restoration operation, whereby the first plurality of applications is bulk installed on the target device.

32. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions for bulk installing on a digital electronic target device a first plurality of applications, that when executed by at least one processor of a digital electronic installation device in communication with the target device, effect:
-
(a) reception by the installation device of instruction to install, in bulk, the first plurality of applications on the target device, the first plurality of applications not already installed on the target device or the installation device; (b) creation by the installation device of a false backup archive containing the first plurality of applications, the false backup archive having sufficient attributes of a true backup archive creatable by a backup operation in respect of the target device to be compatible with a restoration operation corresponding to the backup operation, the restoration operation executable to transfer contents of the false backup archive to a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of the target device; and (c) causation by the installation device of execution of the restoration operation, whereby the first plurality of applications is bulk installed on the target device.
