Marchio registrato che contraddistingue i computer dotati del brevetto industriale US9229882 EP2615549A1 e ITMI20120030A1 (Inventor: Alberto Renzi, Moltrasio (CO) Italy) Inizialmente, il nome era usato in una tastiera dotata di una memoria al suo interno, con un programma capace di catturare tutte le impostazioni del computer (indirizzo IP, configurazione della posta elettronica, preferiti, immagine di sfondo desktop ecc.) e salvarle al suo interno, in modo tale da ripristinarle in altro computer al momento di collegarla. Era utilizzato nella migrazione da effettuare nella sostituzione dei computers. Successivamente il sistema fu migliorato, per non dovere ricaricare tutti i programmi mediante l'aggiunta di un secondo disco estraibile. Si trattava quindi di normali computers all'interno dei quali veniva installata una Suite Operativa estraibile che, una volta configurata, consentiva di ripristinare in pochi minuti un computer nel quale si fossero verificati guasti sia hardware che software. E' stato un salto avanti nell'automatismo della assistenza informatica, che con la diffusione dei sistemi di backup nel cloud, è stato circoscritto alle piccole realtà prive di responsabili IT.

System for backing up and restoring the functionalities of an information technology system Abstract:

A system for backing up and restoring the functionalities of an information technology system which comprises an electronic computer, the electronic computer comprising elements for accessing the data communications network, a first hard disk, a removable slider which is adapted to contain the first hard disk, a first data bank; an operations center being adapted to retrieve instructions from the data bank which are adapted to be processed by the computer on the basis of a unique identifier associated with the electronic computer, the computer being further adapted to perform operations for backing up a restore point on elements for backing up data which are present on the first hard disk, on the basis of the instructions, and operations for restoring the data on the first hard disk on the basis of a choice made by a user.

The disclosures in Italian Patent Application No. MI2012A000030 (01/13/2012) from which this application claims priority are incorporated herein by reference. What is claimed is: 1. A system for backing up and restoring functionalities of an information technology system, comprising: a data communications network; an electronic computer, said electronic computer comprising a first connection for accessing said data communications network, a first hard disk, a removable slider removably arranged in said electronic computer and removably containing said first hard disk, and a first data bank storing instructions for execution by said electronic computer; a remote operations center, said operations center comprising a second connection for accessing said data commu nications network and a second data bank, said operations center being configured to retrieve from said second databank instructions to be sent to and processed by said electronic computer on a basis of a unique identifier associated with said electronic computer; and a data backup device, said electronic computer being configured to: perform operations for backing up, on said data backup device as backed-up data, data stored in said first hard disk, either on a basis of said instructions received from said remote operations center, or in a case where a connection between said electronic computer and said remote operations center is not possible on a basis of said instructions stored in said first data bank, said data that is backed-up on said backup device being associated with a restore point, and restore the backed-up data on the first hard disk on the basis of a choice made by user. 2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the backup device comprises: a second hard disk arranged inside the electronic computer, or a device connected to the local network, or a server on the local network, or a device arranged in a remote geographical site and connected to the electronic computer by means of a cloud computing architecture.
