System and method for maintaining firmware of multiple computers

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for maintaining firmware of multiple computers. The system and method for maintaining the firmware of multiple computers comprises the multiple user side computers, a network and a far-end server, wherein the multiple user side computers are connected with the far-end server through the network. When the conditions meeting the backup trigger conditions are determined through monitoring, the firmware currently used on the multiple user side computers and identification codes of the user side computers with the firmware are sent to the far-end server through the network together to be backed up. When a user sends a firmware request to the far-end server through the corresponding user side computer, the far-end server sends the assigned backup firmware to the user side computer corresponding to the corresponding identification code, assigned to be passed back, of the user side computer according to the firmware request so that the user side computer can carry out restoration or updating according to the firmware. Therefore, the purpose of restoring or updating the firmware of the multiple computers at the same time can be achieved.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to a firmware maintenance method, in particular to a firmware maintenance system and method for multiple computers. 【Background technique】 [0002] At present, when the system cannot be turned on due to uncertain reasons or human factors, the usual methods are: use this machine and USB dongle as the firmware (BIOS) recovery mechanism, or use the remote to completely erase the entire ROM of the firmware. However, these two methods can only restore the firmware to the factory settings, but cannot restore the previous user settings. In order to restore the previous settings, users usually make backups. However, because the customer has special needs, the Storage type will be set. If the original boot sector structure will be destroyed before entering the operating system after restoring the original factory, it will cause the customer to be unable to boot into the OS smoothly, and the customer data will be severely damaged.

However, because the customer has special needs, the Storage type will be set. If the original boot sector structure will be destroyed before entering the operating system after restoring the original factory, it will cause the customer to be unable to boot into the OS smoothly, and the customer data will be severely damaged. The factory settings can only guarantee booting and cannot optimize the customer settings, and the customer has some optimized setting firmware that suits his environment and stores them on the local ROM. In case the entire ROM is damaged, the customer will take a while to restore to The best setting, another but once the firmware of 10,000 to 20,000 client terminal computers in an enterprise needs to be updated, it will be a huge operation and labor cost if it is operated by personnel, and operator negligence may cause some If the equipment cannot be fully updated, it will cause more problems and risk costs. Usually, it is only after the machine has a problem that it is thought of to back up, or it has been a long time since the last backup. Due to the untimely backup, it will also lead to the inability to quickly restore the faulty computer. Restore to optimal settings
