ABSTRACT:
A data processing system for managing stored data is described. A log recording incremental updates to the data is provided for data recovery purposes in the event of a system failure. A backup copy of at least a portion of the stored data can be made without closing that portion for update. Any in-progress modifications at the time the backup is taken are allowed for by calculating a recovery point before the time of the backup, from which point recovery is to be performed using the recovery log. The recovery point depends at least in part on the start time of the oldest in-progress data file update.
