ABSTRACT:
A method for backing up data in a computer system that is occasionally connected to a network is performed by resuming the backup operations even when the backup operations were not successfully completed due to a previous loss to the network connection, according to one embodiment. The backup operations use checksum information to determine changes between a current source file and a version of the backup file. The changes are then used to update the backup file without having to restart the backup operations from the beginning.
