as well as an indication of when the routines should be run. For
example, a cron file may contain an entry that the backup routine
should be run at specified intervals. In step 201(figure 2), the
backup process stores the client's data into a file. The data to
be stored comprises the client's web site. In step 203 (page
26), the backup routine encrypts the file containing the client's
data. In steps 205 and 207, the source identifier is obtained
and a checksum operation is performed on the encrypted file to
create a meta-file. In step 211, the backup routine converts the
meta-file into a format that can be e-mailed to the escrow
computer 150. The backup routine executes the "uuencode" command
to accomplish this task.
From our review of appellants' specification, we find that
the term automatic refers to the backup of data, conversion of
the file into a format for e-mailing, and e-mailing the file to
the escrow computer, without intervention by the user. 37 CFR
§ 1.75(d)(1) sets forth, in part, that:
The claim or claims must conform to the invention
as set forth in the remainder of the specification and
the terms and phrases used in the claims must find clear
support or antecedent basis in the description so that
the meaning of the terms in the claims may be
ascertainable by reference to the description
(underlining added).
