A real-time remote backup system and related method used for a network
system connecting at least one source computer system and one destination
computer system is disclosed. The system includes a loadable kernel
module capable of presetting up at least one specific system call in the
kernel space of the source computer system. Besides the kernel software,
the specific system call can notify the loadable kernel module to
generate a corresponding file modification message when a file
modification event occurs in the user space of the source computer
system. A scheduling module sequentially queues and implements the file
modification messages from the loadable kernel module, and then generates
a corresponding backup command according to each said file modification
message. And, a network backup unit installed in the source computer
system is facilitated to directly back up variant part of the file
through the network system to the destination computer system when
receiving the backup command transmitted from the scheduling module.
