1. INTRODUCTION
We know, most people in the Internet have a flat rate and they have hard disk
much bigger than they ever use them. If you don't work with video application,
it‘s really hard to fill modern Tera byte hard disks. we think, it may be a very
good idea to implement a Backup system based on Network. You split your
Hard disk in two Partitions. The working Partition and a two times bigger one
to have space for the backup of other people via Network.

All you need is a program, who backups your files to the free net. Because of
the content related key and encryption, Network stores equal content to the
same location. This creates a lot of space be avoiding the infinite duplication
of common content like windows or other dat a applications and operating
systems. This space can be used to store different versions of file who are user
specific and under evolution. Also need is some additional forward error
recover, called save set envelope, to keep the probability below a define d
value.

The private files are secure, because the content has key is better than every
content encryption password. Only if the file is known, it is possible by the
neighbor peers to recognize the presents of this file during backup. This
problem may be solved by the onion routing at the lead in of Network
requests. The directories are also stored with the content related key and
encryption system, so identically directories within distributed software are
also stored on same locations. The main Dataset of the Backup system to
needed start a recovery will be stored local on the computer and additional
under a KSK who contains data to handle to an USK. This KSK must be a
derivate build from a long user password, to create the opportunity to recover
every time the whole hard disk with nothing more than a new computer and the
knowledge of the master password.

Smart Data Backup Management System

2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS
System analysis is required to build and verify an effective
system. It is the process of gathering and interpreting data and facts,
diagnosing problems and using the information to recommend improvements to
the system. In the development of software, structural analysis, information is
collected from the existing d ocuments.

System analysis helps to understand the problem and emphasizes what is

needed from the system. The various user requirements are identified and a
new system is proposed so as to meet those requirements. System analysis is
an approach to the study and solves the problem using computer based system;
it provides a framework for visualizing the organizational facts that operate on
the system.

2.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

This project is intended to take backups‘ of sensitive are maintaine d

as stream objects across a local network. Backup are done automatically over
the networks to a backup server in the network. As with all computer system,
there is always the potential for hardware malfunctions such as hard disk
failures. Often, such maintenance is required due to the accidental and
sometimes even deliberate modification or deletion of files on a system by its
users. In some cases, such alterations can be undone easily, while in others,
the only remedy is to reinstall a system from scratch . In such cases, it is of
great benefit to administrators to have a backup of each available system that
has been installed. Backups are done automatically over the network to a
backup server at regular intervals and system administration done periodically
so that data security is maintained. It is a software package that provides
centrally managed, reliable backup facilities for a variety of workstations. It is
an enterprise level backup product capable of protecting your most valuable
data. Backups allow you to restore the availability and integrity of information
resources following security breaches and accidents.

2.2. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

The smart data backup server has the facility to take secured backups
of the systems in the network. This application will enable the clients to
schedule their backup and take urgent backup of only the required files when
needed. The encryption property of the Smart - Data Backup server ensures
security of the data. Also the clients can have a detailed report o f the backups

As with all computer system, there is always the potential for hardware
malfunctions such as hard disk failures. Often, such maintenance is required
due to the accidental and sometimes even deliberate modification or deletion
of files on a system by its users. In some cases, such alterations can be undone
easily, while in others, the only remedy is to reinstall a system from scratch.

Small businesses rely on the availability of their data to keep running, so

data loss is arguably more catastrophic for them than for consumers. In fact, a
recent study of small businesses had suffered data loss: "The top causes of
small business' data loss included hardware/software failure (54 percent),
accidental deletion (14 percent), computer viruses (22 percent) and theft (10
percent),"

In such cases, it is of great benefit to administrators to have a backup of

each available system that has been installed.

Why Backups?

• Data can be corrupted by a variety of problems:

– Failure of the hard disk drive

– Failure of the hard disk controller

– Motherboard failure

– Power outage or spike

– Virus attack

– Accidental change or deletion of data

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 5

Smart Data Backup Management System

– Malicious change or deletion of data

2.3. EXISTING SYSTEM

In existing system is implemented in intranet environment, where

computers are connected under same domain.

Client and Server must have an active connection at schedule time for
proper data backup.

LIMITATIONS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

 One of the main limitation of existing backup in our computer system

is that it is only Implemented in local area network, where computers
are connected under same domain
 Client and Server must have an active connection at schedule time for
proper data backup
 Backup can be done only at particular moment/time. that is ,backing up
of data can‘t be done by setting time(no scheduling)
 In ordinary backup system, if once we backup our data we can‘t view
the backup details like backup day, backup time, schedule type, backup
type. It doesn‘t provide old backup details
 We can‘t verify the data that we backed up: that is, it doesn‘t allow the
user to view the details of current scheduled backup
 Any client can access/modify backed up data without the permission of
the client who done the backup. It doesn‘t ensure data security
 Unauthorized user can backup and restore any system without the
permission of admin
 Since the data are not automatically zipped large amount of memory is
required to store the backed up data
 It is a time consuming process
 Existing backup system suffer data loss at higher rate because of
accidental deletion, computer viruses, theft etc…

2.4. PROPOSED SYSTEM

The project is a software system where Back -ups are done

automatically over the network to a back-up server at regular intervals and
system administration done periodically so that data security is maintained. It
is a software package that provides centrally managed, reliable backup
facilities for a variety of workstations.

The programs permit you (or the system administrator) to manage backup,
recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of
different kinds. In technical terms, it is a network Client/Server based backup
program. The Backup System is relatively ea sy to use and efficient, while
offering many advanced storage management features that make it easy to find
and recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design, Backup System
is scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting of
hundreds of computers located over a large network.

2.5. ADVANTAGES OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM

Advantages:

1. Scheduling

2. Reports

3. Verification

4. Security

5. Authorized user login

6. File and data backup using automatic zip

7. Reduce data loss

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 7

Smart Data Backup Management System

The system protect against every kind of data loss. This are

 User Mistakes, for example deleting something you still need

 Software malfunction
 Hardware malfunction
 Fire, Water, Storm
 Theft, Sabotage, Break-down, Robbery.

Alternative solutions:

 A new Windows Computer comes for example with a hidden recovery

partition. This solves particular problem (2) in relation to system
software. If you use a second hard-disk, you can solve problem (3) by
using a raid.
 If you are using software that create and maintains a set of snapshots,
you may be able to solve (1) and (2), in combination with a second
hard-disk also (3)
 . If you work with laptops, you have typical the problem, that there is
only one internal disk. You may decide to use an add itional sever to
make automatic backups.
 To protect against problem (4), you have two options: You may (A)
decide to put data in a special, fire resistant box or you may (B) copy
the data to a location far away. (A) Costs a lot of money and did not
work automatically.
 If your business did not have the opportunity of different locations, you
must rent space far away and upload every -kind, included all distributed
stuff. (5) is the hardest problem.
 You have the need to keep your backup locations confidentia l, which is
not so easy if you have huge traffic. Or you rent an ultra hard storage,
like backup storage in the Switzerland including an Army guarantee.
 That's rarely expansive! But you can also solve (1) -(5) by a p2p backup
solution running on a basis lik e something like a network based
software application.

FEATURES OF JAVA

JAVA

Java has won acceptance as a major programming language in just a few

years. It is a high-level third generation programming language, like C,
FORTRAN, Smalltalk, Perl and many others. You can use Java to write
computer applications that crunch numb ers, process words, play games, store
data or do any of the thousands of other things computer can do.

Java Is Platform Independent

Java was designed to not only be cross -platform in source form like C,
but also in compiled binary form. Since this is frankly impossible across

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 10

Smart Data Backup Management System

processor architecture Java is compiled to an intermediate form called byte -

code.
A java program never really executes natively on the host machine.
Rater a special native program called the java interpreter reads the byte code
and executes the corresponding native machine instructions. Thus to port Java
programs to a new platform all that is needed is to port the interpreter and
some of the library routines. Even the compiler is written in Java. The byte
codes are precisely defined, and remain the same on all platforms.
The second important part of making Java cross -platform is the
elimination of undefined or architecture depend constructs. Integers are always
four bytes long, and floating point variab les follow the IEEE 754 standard for
computer arithmetic exactly. However the virtual machine itself and some
parts of the class library must be written in native code. These are not always
as easy or quick to port as pure Java programs.

Java – JDK 1.6

The term Java actual refers to more than just a particular language like C or
Pascal. Java encompasses several parts, including:

 A high level language – the Java language is a high level one that at
a glance looks very similar to C and C++ but offers many u nique
features of its own.

 Java byte code - a compiler, such as Sun's javac, transforms the Java
language source code to byte code that runs in the JVM.

 Java Virtual Machine (JVM) – a program, such as Sun's java, that

runs on a given platform and takes t he byte code programs as input
and interprets them just as if it were a physical processor executing
machine code.

 The Java Application Programming Interface (API):- The API is a large

collection of ready-made software components that provide many
useful capabilities, such as graphical user interface (GUI) widgets. It

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 11

Smart Data Backup Management System

is grouped into libraries of related classes and interfaces; these

libraries are known as packages . The following figure depicts how the
API and the Java Virtual Machine insulate the program f rom the
hardware.

As a platform-independent environment, the Java platform can be a bit

slower than native code. However, advances in compiler and virtual machine
technologies are bringing performance close to that of native code without
threatening portability.

Basic features that make java a powerful and popular

programming language:

Simple
There are various features that make the java as a simple language.
Programs are easy to write and debug because java does not use the pointers
explicitly. Java provides the bug free system due to the strong memory
management. It also has the automatic memory allocation and deallocation
system.

Platform Independent

The concept of Write-once-run-anywhere (known as the Platform

independent) is one of the important key features of java language that makes
java as the most powerful language. Not even a single language is idle to this
feature but java is closer to this feature. The programs written on one platform
can run on any platform provided the platform must have the JVM.

Object Oriented

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 12

Smart Data Backup Management System

To be an Object Oriented language, any language must follow at least

the four characteristics.

Inheritance: It is the process of creating the new classes and using the
behavior of the existing classes by extending them just to reuse the existing
code and adding the additional features as needed.

Encapsulation: It is the mechanism of combining the informa tion and

providing the abstraction.

Polymorphism: As the name suggest one name multiple form, Polymorphism

is the way of providing the different functionality by the functions having the
same name based on the signatures of the methods.

Dynamic binding: Sometimes we don't have the knowledge of objects about

their specific types while writing our code. It is the way of providing the
maximum functionality to a program about the specific type at runtime. The
linking of data and methods to where they are locat ed is done at run-time. New
classes can be loaded while a program is running. Linking is done on the fly.
Even if libraries are recompiled, there is no need to recompile code that uses
classes in those libraries. This differs from C++, which uses static bi nding.
This can result in fragile classes for cases where linked code is changed and
memory pointers then point to the wrong addresses

As the languages like Objective C, C++ fulfills the above four

characteristics yet they are not fully object oriented languages because
they are structured as well as object oriented languages. But in case of java, it
is a fully Object Oriented language because object is at the outer most level of
data structure in java. No stand alone methods, constants, and variables a re
there in java. Everything in java is object even the primitive data types can
also be converted into object by using the wrapper class.

Robust
Java has the strong memory allocation and automatic garbage
collection mechanism. It provides the powerful exception handling and type
checking mechanism as compare to other programming languages. Compiler
checks the program whether there any error and interpreter checks any run

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 13

Smart Data Backup Management System

time error and makes the system secure from crash. All of the above fea tures
make the java language robust.

Distributed

The widely used protocols like HTTP are developed in java. Internet
Programmers can call functions on these protocols and can get access the files
from any remote machine on the internet rather than writing codes on their
local system.

Portable
The feature Write-once-run-anywhere makes the java language
portable provided that the system must have interpreter for the JVM. This
feature makes the java as a portable language.

Dynamic
While executing the java program the user can get the required files
dynamically from a local drive or from a remote server thousands of miles
away from the user just by connecting with the Internet.

Automatic Memory Management

Automatic garbage collection - memory management handled b y JVM.

Secure
Java does not use memory pointers explicitly. All the programs in java
are run under an area known as the sand box. Security manager determines
the accessibility options of a class like reading and writing a file to the local
disk. Java uses the public key encryption system to allow the java
applications to transmit over the internet in the secure encrypted form. The
byte code Verifier checks the classes after loading. Array index limit
checking. Code pathologies reduced by

1. Byte code verifier - checks classes after loading

2. Class loader - confines objects to unique namespaces. Prevents loading a

hacked "java.lang.SecurityManager" class, for example.

3. Security manager - determines what resources a class can access such as

reading and writing to the local disk.

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 14

Smart Data Backup Management System

Performance
Java uses native code usage, and lightweight process called threads.
In the beginning interpretation of byte code resulted the performance slow
but the advance version of JVM uses the adaptive and just in time
compilation technique that improves the performance.

Compiler/Interpreter Combo

Code is compiled to byte codes that are interpreted by Java virtual

machines (JVM). This provides portability to any machine for which a virtual
machine has been written. The two steps of compilation and interpretation
allow for extensive code checking and improved security.

Several dangerous features of C & C++ eliminated:

1. No memory pointers

2. No preprocessor

3. Array index limit checking

Multithreaded
As we all know several features of Java like Secure, Robust,
Portable, dynamic etc; you will be more delighted to know another feature of
Java which is Multithreaded.

Java is also a multithreaded programming language. Multithreading

means a single program having different threads executing independently at
the same time. Multiple threads execute instructions according to the
program code in a process or a program. Multithreading works the similar
way as multiple processes run on one computer.

Multithreading programming is a very interesting concept in Java. In

multithreaded programs not even a single thread disturbs the execution of
other thread. Threads are obtained from the pool of available ready to run
threads and they run on the system CPUs. This is how Multithreading works
in Java which you will soon come to know in details in later chapters.

Interpreted
We all know that Java is an interpreted language as well. With an

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 15

Smart Data Backup Management System

interpreted language such as Java, programs run directly from the source
code.

The interpreter program reads the source code and translates it on the
fly into computations. Thus, Java as an interpreted language depends on an
interpreter program.

The versatility of being platform independent makes Java to outshine

from other languages. The source code to be written and distri buted is
platform independent.

Another advantage of Java as an interpreted language is its error

debugging quality. Due to this any error occurring in the program gets
traced. This is how it is different to work with Java.

Built-in Networking

Java was designed with networking in mind and comes with many
classes to develop sophisticated Internet communication s.

Architecture Neutral

The term architectural neutral seems to be weird, but yes Java is an

architectural neutral language as well. The growing popularity of networks
makes developers think distributed. In the world of network it is essential
that the applications must be able to migrate easily to different systems , not
only to computer systems but to a wide variety of hardware architecture and
operating system architectures as well. The Java compiler does this by
generating byte code instructions, to be easily interpreted on any machine
and to be easily translated into native machine code on the fly. The compiler
generates an architecture-neutral object file format to enable a Java
application to execute anywhere on the network and then the compiled code
is executed on many processors, given the presence of the Java runtime
system. Hence Java was designed to support applications on network. This
feature of Java has thrived the programming language .

ABOUT OPERATING SYSTEM - WINDOWS XP

Windows XP is a line of operating systems developed by Microsoft for

use on general-purpose computer systems, including home and business
desktops, notebook computers, and media centers. The name "XP" stands for
‗experience‘. It was codenamed "Whistler", after Whistler, B ritish Columbia,
as many Microsoft employees skied at the Whistler -Blackcomb ski resort
during its development. Windows XP is the successor to both Windows 2000
Professional and Windows Me, and is the first consumer -oriented operating
system produced by Microsoft to be built on the Windows NT kernel and
architecture. Windows XP was first released on October 25, 2001, and over
400 million copies were in use in January 2006, according to an estimate in
that month by an IDC analyst.[3] It is succeeded by Windo ws Vista, which was
released to volume license customers on November 8, 2006, and worldwide to
the general public on January 30, 2007.

The most common editions of the operating system are Windows XP

Home Edition, which is targeted at home users, and Window s XP Professional,
which has additional features such as support for Windows Server domains and
two physical processors, and is targeted at power users and business clients.
Windows XP Media Center Edition has additional multimedia features
enhancing the ability to record and watch TV shows, view DVD movies, and
listen to music. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is designed to run the ink -
aware Tablet PC platform. Two separate 64 -bit versions of Windows XP were
also released, Windows XP 64-bit Edition for IA-64 (Itanium) processors and
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition for x86 -64.

Windows XP is known for its improved stability and efficiency over the
9x versions of Microsoft Windows. It presents a significantly redesigned
graphical user interface, a change Microsoft promoted as more user-friendly
than previous versions of Windows. New software management capabilities
were introduced to avoid the "DLL hell" that plagued older consumer -oriented
9x versions of Windows. It is also the first version of Windows to use product
activation to combat software piracy, a restriction that did not sit well with
some users and privacy advocates. Windows XP has also been criticized by
Department of Computer Science, ASIET 17
Smart Data Backup Management System

some users for security vulnerabilities, tight integration of applications such as

Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player, and for aspects of its default
user interface.

Database Design

The database may be defined as an organized collection of related

information. The organized information serves as a base from which further
recognizing can be retrieved desired information or processing the data. The
most important aspect of building an application system is the design of tables.
In out present project the database consists of just single table.. The table

Dataflow Diagram

Graphical description of a system‘s data and how the processes

transform the data is known as Data Flow Diagram (or DFD). This was first
developed by Larry Constantine. This is also known as ―bubble chart‖.

Unlike detail flowcharts, DFDs do not supply detailed descriptions of

modules but graphically describe a system‘s data and how the data interact
with the system.

To construct data flow diagrams, we use

 Arrows
 Circles
 Open-ended boxes, and
 Squares

An arrow identifies data flow-data in motion. It is a pipeline through

which information flows. Like the rectangle in flowcharts, circles circle stand
for a process that coverts data/into in -formation. An open-ended box
represents a data store-data at rest, or a temporary repository of data. A square
defines a source (originator) or destination of system data.

The following seven rules govern construction of Data Flow diagrams (DFD):

 Arrows should not cross each other.

 Squares, circles and files must bear names.
 Decomposed data flows must be balanced (all data flows on the
decomposed diagram must reflect flows in the original diagram).
 No two data flows, squares, or circle can have the same name.
 Draw all data flows around the outside of the diagram.
 Choose meaningful names for data flows, processes and data
stores. Use strong verbs followed by nouns.
 Control information such as record contents, passwords and
validation requirements are not pertinent to a data -flow diagram.

1. Network Backup Server

a) Client Account Authentication

This module is intended to manage and authenticate an account
for each client system. Client system information after registering

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 30

Smart Data Backup Management System

the account is send to the server for approval and Authentication.

This assigns specific privileges for each registered client system.

b) Storage Device managements

This module allocates the storage space and location in the
backup server for storing the backup files that have been
transferred. It also manages the temporary storage devices for
secondary backup.

c) Data Replication
This creates the duplicates of files needed for ensuring the
security from data loss. This data can be maintained in the client
system near the original data or can be transferred to the server
and can be even maintained in secondary storage devices.

d) FTP Server
This module follows File Transmission Protocol for the easy
transfer of files from the server system to the connected client
and vice versa. This overcomes complex procedures and the
transmission delay of using other protocols.

2. Client Backup Tool

e) Defining Backup Packs

Manages the backup files by giving a pack name. These
backup packs are described by assigning several attributes
which gives the information about time, schedule and storage
location of the files.

f) Data security management (encryption)

For the secure transmission of data, data encryption
mechanisms are used for converting the data into an encrypted
format which can be decrypted only by the specific client.

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 31

Smart Data Backup Management System

g) Data Compression
Before transferring the files to the central server it is
compressed to reduce the storage space. Thus even bulk of
data can be easily transferred and saved in a minimum storage
space.

h) Backup File Transfer (FTP)

This module is intended for the easy transfer of files from
client systems to the connected server and vice versa .FTP
(File Transmission Protocol) is used here which overcomes the
complex procedures of other transmission protocols.

i) Backup scheduling
Defines a schedule for each backup packs by setting the week,
day, date and time for the backup. The information such as
which files are needed for backup, when the backup process
will start, and where to store the files are received
dynamically from the user and saved as xml file.

j) Recover y management
Data recovery module is used to recover the lost or damaged
data from the central server when needed. The data be restored
in the compressed format or we can decompress the data and
download.

k) Report (backup/Recovery)
This module generates the reports about backup and recovery
.it also provide information about the regi stered client systems
and the types of data, date and time of backup created by
them.

SYSTEM TESTING
Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and
represents the ultimate reviews of specification, design and coding. Testing
present an interesting anomaly for the software. Testing is vital to the success
of the system. Errors can be injected at any stage during development. System
testing makes a logical assumption that if all the parts of the system are
correct, the goal will be successfully achieved. During testi ng, the program to
be tested is executed with set of test data and the output of the program for the
test data is evaluated to determine if the programs is performing as expected.
A series of testing are performed for the proposed system before the system is
ready for user acceptance testing. The testing steps are:

 Unit Testing
 Integration Testing
 Validation testing
 Output Testing
 Acceptance Testing

Unit Testing
Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of the
software design, the module this is known as module testing. Since the
proposed system has modules the testing is individually performed on each
module. Using the details design description as a guide, important control
paths are tested to uncover errors within the boundary of the module. This
testing was carried out during programming stage itself. In this testing step
each module is found to be working satisfactorily as regards to the expected
output from the module.

Integration Testing
Data can be test across an interface; one module can have adverse effect
on another, sub function when combined may not produced the desired

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 38

function. Integration testing is a systematic technique for constructing the

program structure while at the same time conducting test to uncover errors
associated within the interface.

Validation Testing
Validation testing can be defined in many ways, but a simple definition
is that validation succeeds when the software functions in manner that is
reasonably expected by the customer. Software validation is achieved through
a series of black box tests that demonstrate conformity with requirement. After
validation test has been conducted, one of two conditions exists.

 The function or performance characteristics confirm to

specifications and are accepted
 A validation from specification is uncovered and a deficiency
created.

Deviation or errors discovered at this step in this project is corrected

prior to completion of the project with the help of the user by negotiating to
establish a method for resolving deficiencies. Thus the proposed system under
consideration has been tested by using validation testing and found to be
working satisfactorily.

Output Testing
After performing the validation testing, the next ste p is output testing
of the proposed system, since no system could be useful if it does not produce
the required output in the specific format. The output generator or displayed
by the system under consideration is tested by asking the users about the
format required by them. Here the output is considered in two ways: One is on
screen and the other is printed format. The output format on the screen is
found to be correct as the format was designed in the system design phase
according to the user needs. As fa r as hardcopies are considered it goes in
terms with the user requirement. Hence output testing does not result any
correction in the system.

Acceptance Testing
User acceptance of the system is key factor for the success of any system.
The system under consideration is tested for user acceptance by constantly
keeping in touch with prospective system and user at the time of developing
and making changes whenever required

IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation is the stage of the project when the theoretica l design is
turned into a working system. If the implementation stage is not properly
planned and controlled, it can cause chaos. Thus it can be considered to be the
most crucial stage in achieving a successful new system and in giving the
users confidence that the new system will work and be effective .

Normally this stage involves setting up a coordinating committee, which

will act as a sounding board for ideas; complaints and problems. The first task
is implementation planning; i.e. deciding on the metho ds and timescale to be
adopted. Apart from planning, the two major tasks of preparing for
implementation are education and training of users and testing of the system.
Education of users should really have taken place much earlier in the project;
at the implementation stage the emphasis must be on training in new skills to
give staff confidence they can use the system. Once staff has been trained, the
system can be tested.

After the implementation phase is completed and the user staff is adjusted
to the changes created by the candidate system, evaluation and maintenance
begin. The importance of maintenance is to continue to bring the new system
to standards.

The activities of the implementation phase can be summarized as: -

 Implementation planning
 Education and training
 System training

.TESTING AND IMPLEMENTATION

System testing is the stage of implementation, which is aimed at ensuring
that the system works accurately and efficiently before live operation
commences. An elaborate testing of data is prepared and the system is tested
using this test data. While testing error noted and corrections are made. The
users are trained to operate the developed system. Both hardware and software
securities are made to run the developed system successfully in future. Testing
demonstrates that performance requirements appear to have been met.

TYPES OF TESTING DONE:

Two types of testing are white-box testing and black-box testing.

White-Box testing
White-box testing is a test case design method that uses the control
structure of the procedural design to derive test cases. White -box testing of
software is predicted on close examination of procedural detail.

Black-Box testing
The black-box testing focuses on the functional requirements of the
software. It helps to find out errors in incorrect or missing functions, interface
errors, errors in data structures, performance errors and initialization and
termination errors. The black-box testing is applied during the later stages for
the functional requirement evaluation.

Testing strategy

 Unit testing

Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of the

software design of the module .The unit test is normally white -box oriented,
and the step can be conducted in parallel for multiple modules.

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 41

 Condition Testing

The condition testing exercises on the conditions contained in a

program module.

 Loop Testing

Loop testing is a testing technique that focuses exclusively on the

validity of the loop constructs. In the case of the current system the loops are
tested for validity purpose.

 Integration Testing

When the modules of the system are combined together to form the
whole system, there will be the problem of interfacing. Integration testing is a
systematic testing technique for constructing the program structure while
conducting tests to uncover errors associated with interfacing.

 Graph Based Testing

A graph of important objects ad their relationship is created and then

a series of test is devised that will cover the graph so that each object and
relationship is exercised and error is covered

 Validation Testing

The definition for the validation testing is that the validation

succeeds when software functions in a manner that can be reasonably expected
by the customer. The expectations are defined in the software requirements
specifications.

Validation criteria: If any field is kept blank then a dialogue box

showing an error message will appears .

 Output Testing

After performing the validation testing, the next step is output testing of
the proposed system since no system could be useful if it does not produce the

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 42

Smart Data Backup Management System

required output in the specific format. The output generated or displayed by

the system under consideration is tested asking the users about the format
required by then.

Here, the output is considered into ways: one is on the screen and the
other is printed format. The output format on the screen is found to be correct
as the format designed according to the user needs. For the hard copy also, the
output comes out as specified by the user. Hence output testing doesn‘t result
in any connection in the system.

 User Acceptance Testing

User acceptance testing of a system is the key factor for the success of
any system. The System under consideration is tested for user acceptance by
constantly keeping in touch with the prospective system users at time of
developing and making the Digital Watermarking System.

The testing of the software began along with coding. Since the design was
fully object-oriented, first the interfaces were developed and tested. Then unit
testing was done for every module in the software for various inputs, such that
each line of code at least once executed. After all modules w ere coded the
integration test were carried out. Some minor errors were found in the output
at the earlier stage and each of them was corrected. In the implementation of
user interface part no major errors were found. After the software was
completely developed, the testing was done. The output of the were correct
and accurate during the time of demonstration after that no errors were
reported.

IMPLEMENTATION
System implementation is the final phase i.e., putting the utility into
action. Implementation is the state in the project where theoretical design
turned into working system. The most crucial stage is achieving a new
successful system and giving confidence in new system that it will work
efficiently and effectively. The system is imp lemented only after thorough
checking is done and if it is found working in according to the specifications.

Department of Computer Science, ASIET 43

Smart Data Backup Management System

It involves careful planning, investigation of the current system and

constraints on implementation, design of methods to achieve. Two checking is
done and if it is found working according to the specification, major task of
preparing the implementation are educating, training the users.

The implementation process begins with preparing a plan for the

implementation of the system. According to this plan, the activities are to be
carried out, discussions made regarding the equipment and resources and the
additional equipment has to be acquired to implement the new system. The
most important in implementation stage is, gaining the users confidence that
the new system will work and be effective. The system can be implemented
only after through testing is done. This method also offers the greatest security
since the existing system can take over if the errors are found or inability to
handle certain type of transactions while using the new system.

 User Training

After the system is implemented successfully, training of the user is one

of the most important subtasks of the developer. Even well designed and
technically elegant systems can succeed or fail, because of the way they are
operated and used. For this purpose user manuals are prepared and handled
over to the user to operate the develop ed system.

Thus the users are trained to operate the developed system. Both the
hardware and software securities are made to run the developed systems
successfully in future. In order to put new application system into use,
preparation of user and system documentation, conducting user training with
demo, test run for some period to ensure smooth switching over the system are
to be prepared

 Test Report

We made use of valid username/password or invalid username/password

to test the first login page. Only i f the match is found the system moves into
the next page. A similar procedure is a carried out in the registration process
where if the username already exists the registration process fails.

Once the user enters into his home page he can search for the products
and can view his history and the recent visited links these functions were
tested for their functionality and was found to be working according to the
specifications, provision for user to edit his password is also provided.

5. CONCLUSION

Disasters both natural and human-caused can threaten your precious files
at any time: a fire, power surge, or leaking pipe could fry your system. Even
without suffering a calamity, there are plenty of other threats to locally stored
data—hard drive failure, accidental erasures, or a lost or stolen laptop could
make you a victim of data loss. By data, here, we mean things like your
irreplaceable family photos, videos, and music as well as documents .

Small businesses rel y on the availability of their data to keep running, so

data loss is arguably more catastrophic for them than for consumers. In fact, a
recent study of small businesses had suffered data loss: "The top causes of
small business' data loss included hardware/software failure (54 percent),
accidental deletion (54 percent), computer viruses (33 percent) and theft (10
percent),"

Secure Network Backup System, securely store your files away from your
premises at on-site/off-site server locations, your data will stay intact and
available even if your local disks are stolen or your premises suffer some
disaster. With more and more emphasis on "cloud computing," i t only makes
sense that backup should take advantage of this hot trend in technology.
