Storagecraft Assigned Two Patents

Graphical user interface relationship graph for displaying relationships
between image backup files in backup job 
Storagecraft Technology Corporation, Draper, UT, has been assigned a patent (9,934,101) developed by Patrick, Nathan A., Springville, UT, and Fordham, S. Blake, Lindon, UT for a “graphical user interface relationship graph for displaying relationships between image backup files in a backup job.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Graphical user interface relationship graph for displaying relationships between image backup files in a backup job. In one example embodiment, one or more non-transitory computer-readable media store a program that causes a processor to generate and visually present, on an electronic display device associated with the processor, a graphical user interface, (GUI) relationship graph for displaying relationships between image backup files in a backup job. The GUI relationship graph includes multiple image nodes each representing an image backup file of a source storage and a chain path including multiple links. Each of the links represents a parent-child relationship between one of the image nodes and another of the image nodes.”

The patent application was filed on December 12, 2014 (14/569,360).

Consolidating encrypted image backups without decryption
Storagecraft Technology Corporation, Draper, UT, has been assigned a patent (9,917,688) developed by Bushman, Nathan S., Pleasant Grove, UT, for a “consolidating encrypted image backups without decryption.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “Consolidating encrypted image backups without decryption. In one example embodiment, a method for consolidating encrypted image backups without decryption may include individually encrypting, using a single encryption key, each block in a first set of blocks in a source storage, storing the first set of encrypted blocks in a first encrypted image backup, individually encrypting, using the single encryption key, each block in a second set of blocks in the source storage, storing the second set of encrypted blocks in a second encrypted image backup, and creating a consolidated encrypted image backup that includes a single encrypted block for each of multiple unique block positions represented by the first and second sets of encrypted blocks without decrypting any of the encrypted blocks.”

The patent application was filed on May 25, 2017 (15/605,681).
