HIGHLY EFFICIENT NATIVE APPLICATION DATA PROTECTION FOR OFFICE 365

摘要

Embodiments for a method of storing documents using a document data protection process. Documents are first compressed and stored in a container along with selected metadata. An Document Record is created for each document. A Container Record is created for each newly created container, and a Backup Record is created for each container for each backup. Once the required records are created, the process facilitates the execution of backup operations, such as full or incremental backups of the stored documents. Data tiering is supported so that low cost object storage in the public cloud is used instead of expensive processing methods like deduplication. A user interface receives a user setting dictating a storage media storing the container based on a relative availability of the storage media versus cost of storage.
