Presence enhanced disaster/overload recovery
View Patent ↗In some embodiments, a managed content recovery system may include one or more of the following features: (a) a data storage device comprising, (i) presence state submitted from at least one user, and (ii) a managed content recovery program that distributes managed content that has been backed up due to a backlog based upon at least one user's presence state, and (b) a processor coupled to the data storage device that executes the managed content recovery program.
1. A method for managed content system recovery, the method comprising the steps of:
beginning a recovery process;
querying a presence system to determine a presence of each user; and
distributing managed content based upon the presence of each user, wherein the presence of each user includes a first presence state and a second presence state, the managed content being distributed on prioritized basis with preference to the first presence state over the second presence state, the first presence state including at least one of available or in office, the second presence state including at least one of on vacation or out of office.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the managed content is email.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the managed content is voicemail.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of distributing the managed content based upon the user's importance.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of inputting a user's presence state.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of determining when the recovery process is complete.
7. A managed content recovery system comprising:
a data storage device comprising:
presence state submitted from at least one user; and
a managed content recovery program that distributes managed content that has been backed up due to a backlog, based upon at least one user's presence state; and
a processor coupled to the data storage device that executes the managed content recovery program, wherein the presence state includes a first presence state and a second presence state, the managed content is distributed on a prioritized basis with preference to the first presence state over the second presence state, the first presence state including at least one of available or in office, the second presence state including at least one of on vacation or out of office.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the presence state is received directly or indirectly.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the managed content is email.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the managed content is voice mail.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the managed content is also distributed based upon the at least one user's importance.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the managed content recovery program creates a list of all pending recipients of the managed content resource.
13. A machine readable medium comprising machine executable instructions, including:
query instructions to obtain a presence of participating presence users;
order instructions that order participating presence users based upon a priority table; and
delivery instructions that deliver backlogged managed content based upon the presence of participating presence users, wherein the presence of each participating presence user includes a first presence state and a second presence state, the managed content is distributed on the priority table with preference to the first presence state over the second presence state, the first presence state including at least one of available or in office, the second presence state including at least one of on vacation or out of office.
14. The medium of claim 13 , further comprising creation instructions that create a list of all pending recipients of a managed content system.
15. The medium of claim 14 , wherein The creating instructions further create a list of all remaining pending recipients after an initial delivery of backlogged managed content to prioritized users.
16. The medium of claim 13 , wherein the user's presence state is received directly or indirectly.
17. The medium of claim 13 , wherein the managed content is email.
18. The medium of claim 13 , wherein the managed content is voice mail.
19. The medium of claim 13 , wherein the delivery instructions also deliver the backlogged managed content based user's importance.
