RenewData Assigned Patent

RenewData Corporation, a legal consulting and technology company with solutions that address the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), has been awarded patent number US 8,615,490 for its “method and system for restoring information from backup storage media.”

This is the firm’s third patent awarded in less than a year.

Compared to traditional methods of restoration, RenewData’s enhanced technology thoroughly processes backup tape extractions in less time and with cost savings. The ‘single-pass’ processing technology – which accommodates all data types including software and email – allows files that have been segmented across more than one backup tape to be read as a whole. This eliminates the need to process each tape in its original sequence or read tapes more than once.

This technology also allows for the processing of tapes when the catalogue and/or tapes from a set are missing. And it provides a service that gathers information that other services may not identify. It overcomes typical tape/backup challenges to move the project or litigation forward efficiently and timely.

Since 2000, RenewData has been a firm specializing in non-native indexing, cataloguing, processing encrypted tapes non-natively and tape restoration of data from storage media. Technology – such as the technology exemplified by this recent patent – has enabled the company to efficiently and effectively extract and process more than 200PB of data.

“Our culture of innovation ensures that we are constantly improving our technology. These patents exemplify RenewData’s commitment to providing market-leading technology to address the complex information management needs of today’s corporate law departments,” stated Hemanth Salem, COO, RenewData.

In all, RenewData now holds 17 patents or patent applications that are focused on eDiscovery and information management. This patent is the fourth one awarded to RenewData since 2012.
