[0055] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to explain the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0056] The main technical problems of the embodiments of the present application are as follows:

[0057] Most of the servers in the prior art are installed with the one-key backup tool described above, and it is relatively simple to use the one-key backup tool to backup at the factory. However, the existing servers are mass assembled from the production line, which requires the operator to use the one-key backup tool to manually backup each server in sequence on the assembly line, which is complicated and reduces the backup efficiency of the server operating system.

[0058] In order to solve the above problems, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of an operating system automatic factory backup method provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided. As shown in the figure, Figure 1 The operating system automatic factory backup method comprises the following steps:

[0059] S110: When the server is powered on, use the multi-operating system startup program of the server to detect whether the factory backup file exists in the hard disk partition of the server. The multi-operating system startup program GRUB is an implementation of multi-startup specification, which allows users to have multiple operating systems in a computer at the same time, and to select the operating system to be run when the computer starts. GRUB can be used to select different kernels on the operating system partition, and can also be used to deliver startup parameters to these kernels (the most basic part of the operating system). Therefore, when the multi-operating system startup program detects whether the factory backup file exists in the hard disk partition of the server, it can determine whether the server has been factory backed up.

[0060] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 2As shown, the step of detecting whether the hardware partition of the server has the factory backup file by using the multi-operating system startup program of the server specifically comprises:

[0061] S111: traversing all hard disk partitions of the server by using the multi-operating system startup program;

[0062] S112: searching for the factory backup file from a specified position of the hard disk partition.

[0063] By traversing all hard disk partitions of the server by using the multi-operating startup program, the factory backup file of the operating system data can be accurately and comprehensively searched, and then the factory backup file is searched from the specified position of the hard disk partition. If the factory backup file is found, it indicates that the server has been factory backed up. If the factory backup file is not found, it indicates that the server has not been factory backed up.

[0064] When it is detected that the hard disk partition does not have the factory backup file, it indicates that the server has not been factory backed up. At this time Figure 1 The automatic factory backup method of the operating system provided by the embodiment further comprises the following steps:

[0065] S120: delivering the factory backup parameter to a one-key backup tool of the server by using the multi-operating system startup program. The one-key backup tool is independent of the operating system. The one-key backup tool can restore the operating system and user data after the system crashes and supports backup and restoration of the hard disk partition. Therefore, the multi-operating system startup program delivers the factory backup parameter to the one-key backup tool, and the one-key backup tool can back up the operating system of the server through the factory backup parameter.

[0066] Specifically, as a preferred embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 The step of delivering the factory backup parameter to the one-key backup tool of the server by using the multi-operating system startup program specifically comprises:

[0067] S121: starting the kernel boot file of the one-key backup tool by using the multi-operating system startup program;

[0068] S122: booting the memory operating system of the one-key backup tool by using the kernel boot file;

[0069] S123: controlling the memory operating system to parse the factory backup parameter.

[0070] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: a kernel boot file of a one-key backup tool is started by using a multi-operation starting program; a memory operating system of the one-key backup tool is started by using the kernel boot file; a factory backup parameter is parsed by using the memory operating system; and the one-key backup tool performs factory backup on the server after the memory operating system parses the factory backup parameter. Through the above process, manual backup of an operator is not required, and therefore the backup operation of a large number of servers in a pipeline can be applied.

[0071] After the multi-operation system starting program transmits the factory backup parameter, Figure 1 The automatic factory backup method of the operating system provided by the embodiment further comprises the following steps:

[0072] S130: The one-key backup tool is controlled to call a factory backup program to perform backup on the operating system of the server according to the factory backup parameter. Specifically, when the multi-operation starting program does not find the factory backup file, the normal multi-operation system starting program grub boot item is modified, the grub directly uses the kernel file of the Inspur one-key backup tool ISOKR to start and transmits the specified factory backup parameter onekeyRestore.

[0073] Specifically, as a preferred embodiment, the step of controlling the one-key backup tool to call the factory backup program to perform backup on the operating system of the server according to the factory backup parameter specifically comprises the following steps: Figure 4

[0074] S131: The backup partition table is called according to the factory backup program;

[0075] S132: All hard disk partitions except the one-key backup tool partition in the server are filtered and backed up by using the backup partition table, and factory backup files of the hard disk partitions are obtained;

[0076] S133: The factory backup files are stored in the one-key backup tool partition.

[0077] During the backup process, because the one-key restore tool ISOKR partition and the system partition are on one hard disk, full-disk backup cannot be performed, and therefore the backup partition table and the system partition need to be backed up. All partitions except the ISOKR partition are filtered out by traversing the entire hard disk partition, and backup is performed on the partitions one by one.

[0078] In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the one-key backup tool calls the backup partition table according to the factory backup program, backs up all hard disk partitions except the one-key backup tool partition according to the backup partition table, and obtains factory backup files of the hard disk partitions, so that backup is performed on all hard disk partitions except the ISOKR partition of the server.

[0079] ​In summary, the automatic factory backup method of the operating system provided in the embodiments of the present application uses the multi-operating system startup program of the server to detect whether the factory backup file exists in the hard disk partition of the server when the server needs to be powered on for detection. If the factory backup file does not exist in the hard disk partition, it indicates that the server has not been factory backed up. Therefore, the multi-operating system startup program delivers the factory backup parameter to the one-key backup tool of the server, and the one-key backup tool can call the factory backup program of itself to backup the operating system of the server according to the factory backup parameter. Through the above method, it can be known that the automatic factory backup solution of the operating system provided in the present application can realize automatic backup of the server, is suitable for assembly and production process of a large number of servers on a production line, and thus solves the problems of complex operation and low backup efficiency caused by manual backup of each server by an operator.

[0080] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 the automatic factory backup method provided in the embodiments of the present application further includes the following steps:

[0081] S140: If the multi-operating system startup program detects the factory backup file, the multi-operating system startup program is controlled to normally power on according to the predetermined operating system startup sequence and cancel the factory backup parameter.

[0082] When the factory backup file is detected, it indicates that the server has been automatically factory backed up, and thus secondary backup is not needed. Therefore, the multi-operating system startup program cancels the factory backup parameter, and can enter the startup guide page according to the original predetermined operating system startup sequence to enter the operating system.

[0083] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 the automatic factory backup method provided in the embodiments of the present application further includes the following steps:

[0084] S150: When the backup of the operating system is completed, the backup completion identifier is transmitted to the baseboard management controller through the IPMI protocol for centralized display;

[0085] S160: The server is controlled to be powered off.

[0086] By transmitting the backup completion identifier to the baseboard management controller for centralized display, the operator can easily and timely master the backup status of each server, thereby controlling the backup of the batch servers on the production line.

[0087] In order to realize the above method, the following embodiments of the present application further provide an automatic factory backup system of the operating system. The automatic factory backup system of the operating system can realize the functions of the above method.
