System software refers to computer software that is intended to operate the computer hardware to offer essential functionality as well as to offer a platform for running application software.  It includes such accessories as communications devices, device readers, displays and keyboards. It also partitions the computer's resources, for example memory and processor time in a stable and safe manner.

A file manager or file browser is a computer program that provides a user interface to work with file systems. The most common operations performed on files or groups of files are: create, open, edit, view, print, play, rename, move, copy, delete, search/find, and modify file attributes, properties and file permissions. Files are typically displayed in a hierarchy. Some file managers contain features inspired by web browsers, including forward and back navigational buttons.

                                                                   Back up

 

 

Backups have two distinct purposes. The primary purpose is to recover data after its loss, be it by data deletion or corruption. Data loss can be a common experience of computer users. A 2008 survey found that 66% of respondents had lost files on their home PC. The secondary purpose of backups is to recover data from an earlier time, according to a user-defined data retention policy, typically configured within a backup application for how long copies of data are required.

 

 

 

 

                                                               Sychronisation

 

 

Synchronization is the process by which Data Protection Manager (DPM) transfers data changes from a protected file server to a DPM server, and then applies the changes to the replica of the protected data. DPM relies on synchronization to keep replicas synchronized with the protected data on the file servers.
