According to one aspect, the method includes generating the backup data file of electronic data stored electronic memory by transferring the electronic data to a data storage, generating initial incremental backup data of the electronic data where the incremental backup data includes changes made to the electronic data after the backup data file is generated, and comparing a first portion of the backup data file with a corresponding first portion of the electronic data during the generating of the incremental backup data. Furthermore, the method includes determining whether the first portion of the backup data file is valid based on the comparison and, if the first portion of the backup data file is invalid, generating another backup of the first portion of the electronic data.”

The patent application was filed on April 25, 2016 (15/137,407).
