Application No. 09/053,379
archival computer 110 stores messages or flags from the PC 10-1
that blocks from two different archival operations are the same
(column 3, lines 52 through 61). In order to perform file
restoration, the Kanfi system must look to the archival computer
110 and the associated archival memory 30-1 for both the archival
location identification information and the archived file F1
(column 5, lines 5 through 15; column 6, line 47 through column
7, line 18).
The examiner’s contentions (answer, pages 4 and 5) to the
contrary notwithstanding, Kanfi does not determine whether the
file F1 “is a redundant file present in a pre-determined number
of computer workstations within the computer network based on
said signature” (claims 1 through 8, 10, 19 through 28, 30 and 35
through 41) (brief, page 6). As indicated supra, Kanfi is only
concerned with redundant blocks of data in the file F1 in the
single PC 10-1. The examiner acknowledges (answer, page 5) that
the above-noted “message or flag is stored in the archive.” If
the message or flag is stored in the archive along with the
redundant file F1, then Kanfi neither teaches nor would have
suggested to one of ordinary skill in the art the placement of
the redundant file F1 in a common storage area, and the placement
of the identification message or flag in the archival storage
