A technique efficiently creates and serves a backup data set on a backup filer located at a remote site from a primary filer by essentially moving an entire operating environment of a primary data set to the backup filer. The primary filer is organized into one or more virtual filers (vfilers), one of which (the primary vfiler) is configured to serve data, such as the primary data set, for a client. In the event that the primary filer or primary vfiler becomes unavailable, the technique may be implemented as a disaster recovery or data migration sequence to enable efficient instantiation of a backup vfiler to serve the backup data set for the client.

Files in a fileset at the primary storage site are migrated to a file container, wherein data for the files migrated to the file container is distributed among the secondary storage sites. File metadata for each of the migrated files is updated to include access information on the migrated file in the file container. Data for the migrated files is deleted in a local storage. The file metadata for the migrated files is replicated to the secondary storage sites over the network to store in filesets at the secondary storage sites without replicating file data for the migrated files to store in the filesets the secondary storage sites.

Described is a system and methodology, in which information is exchanged and / or updated within data-driven engineering schematics and various data management systems within an operating facility. The integration of plant data management systems with data-driven engineering schematics, such as piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID), process flow diagrams (PFDs) and isometric drawings is an innovation that provides numerous benefits to multiple plant disciplines, including but not limited to Engineering, Operations, Maintenance, Procurement, Environmental, and Safety personnel. In addition to data exchange, described methods and systems within the graphical user interface are capable of generating alerts and initiating to changes to resolve data inconsistencies for a particular component represented in two or more data systems.

Described herein are various principles for operating transfer protocols using adaptive flow control techniques. In accordance with some of these principles, a client may adaptively negotiate with a server regarding a window size to use when communicating datagrams using a connectionless content unit transfer protocol like the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). In some implementations, a client may inform a server whether to increase or decrease a window size. In these implementations, the client may increase the window size upon determining that a previous window size has led to successful transfer of content without any loss of datagrams and the client may decrease the window size upon detecting a loss of a datagram. Because of the limited resources available in some environments in which these techniques may be used, in some implementations a window size may be increased by small amounts but may be decreased drastically upon detecting a loss.

An electronic apparatus refers to location measurement information measured in the past at each time when the latest location measurement information is output from a location measurement module with a predetermined measurement period, if measurement accuracy is good and it is regarded that a direction change has been made, determines the latest location measurement information as saving “necessary” and stores the information. If the measurement accuracy is no good or it is regarded that a positioning point shown by the latest location measurement information is an intermediate point during linear traveling, the latest location measurement information is not saved. Therefore, a data size to be saved is made smaller than that in related art and draining of a battery taken for writing of data is reduced.

A group of interest and a reference group are determined from the plurality of groups. The group of interest has at least one data element of interest and the reference group has data elements or properties that are similar or identical with data elements or properties, respectively, of the group of interest. In a further step, the group of interest is compared with the reference group such that from the reference group information concerning the data element of interest can be derived.
