[method for resotoring backup data]

Abstract

A method for restoring backup data in an electronic system is provided. The method provides a backup data file, and the backup data file includes at least one record of application data. Then, an application program corresponding to the application data is searched within a registry of the electronic system. If it is found, the application data is restored; otherwise, the application data is not restored. The present invention further provides a method for restoring backup data in a mobile system. The method provides a backup data file, and the backup data file includes a self-restore program. Then, the self-restore program is performed in the mobile device to restore data. Therefore, the present invention can restore data to the mobile device without having to install additional restore program.

1 . A method suitable for an electronic system for restoring a backup data, comprising: 
 providing a backup data file comprising at least an application data; and    searching an application program corresponding to the application data within a registry of the electronic system,    if it is found that there is an application program corresponding to the application data, the application data is restored;    if it is found that there is no application program corresponding to the application data, the application data is not restored.    
   
   
       2 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 1 , wherein the backup data file further comprises a Personal Information Manager (PIM) data, and the method for restoring the backup data further comprises: 
 reading and restoring the Personal Information Manager (PIM) data to the electronic system.    
   
   
       3 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 2 , wherein the backup data file further comprises an original model data, and the method for restoring the backup data further comprises: 
 reading an current model data of the electronic system; and    comparing the current model data with the original model data, and if they are matched, all backup data in the backup data file are restored.    
   
   
       4 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic system is a mobile device.  
   
   
       5 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 4 , wherein the mobile device is a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).  
   
   
       6 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 5 , wherein the PDA is a Pocket PC.  
   
   
       7 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 4 , wherein the mobile device is a Smart Phone.  
   
   
       8 . A method used in a mobile device for restoring a backup data, comprising: 
 providing a backup data file comprising a self-restore program; and    executing the self-restore program and performing the data restore in the mobile device.    
   
   
       9 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 8 , wherein the step of executing the self-restore program and performing the data restore comprises: 
 determining whether the backup data is existed in the backup data file, and if there is no backup data, the executing of the self-restore program is terminated.    
   
   
       10 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 9 , wherein the backup data file further comprises an original model data, and the step of executing the self-restore program and performing the data restore further comprises: 
 reading an current model data of the mobile device; and    comparing the current model data with the original model data, and if they are matched, all backup data in the backup data file are restored.    
   
   
       11 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 10 , wherein the backup data file further comprises a Personal Information Manager (PIM) data, and the step of executing the self-restore program and performing the data restore further comprises: 
 reading and restoring the Personal Information Manager (PIM) data to the mobile device.    
   
   
       12 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 11 , wherein the backup data file at least comprises an application data, and the step of executing the self-restore program and performing the data restore further comprises: 
 searching an application program corresponding to the application data within a registry of the mobile device, if it is found that there is an application program corresponding to the application data, the application data is restored; and    if it is found that there is no application program corresponding to the application data, the application data is not restored.    
   
   
       13 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 8 , wherein the mobile device is a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).  
   
   
       14 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 13 , wherein the PDA is a Pocket PC.  
   
   
       15 . The method for restoring the backup data of  claim 8 , wherein the mobile device is a Smart Phone.
