The invention is a modular backup and retrieval system. The software modules making up the backup and retrieval system run independently, and can run either on the same computing devices or on different computing devices. The modular software system coordinates and performs backups of various computing devices communicating to the modules. Actions of modules on one of the computing devices acts as a system manager for a network backup regimen. A management component acts as a manager for the archival and restoration of the computing devices on the network. It manages and allocates library media usage, maintains backup scheduling and levels, and supervises or maintains the archives themselves through pruning or aging policies. The management component is not hard wired in its functionality, but may adapt to changing circumstances in these policies. A second software module acts as a manager for each particular library media.

Provided are a system and method for supporting communication between application programs and the processing of messages by those programs. A table driven approach is used to select appropriate components of modular application programs to process received messages. The selection is carried out in dependence on associations between message types (e.g. request, inform, reply) and other characteristics of the message (e.g. whether the message is an expected reply (as identified by an identifier value). Also used in said selection are dynamic characteristics of the message or the system (e.g. possibly expiry of a timeout, or the state of an application). Rules combine these criteria and determine the conditions for invoking an application program component. Also provided is a mechanism for differentiating between reply messages which are received out of serial sequence but are still current and messages which are invalid.
