Substantially instantaneous storage restoration for non-computer forensics applications

摘要

Restoration of a storage for a computer, such as a hard disk drive, is provided. In one embodiment, a system includes a host device such as a processor or computer, a connection point at the host device such as a communications bus, a primary storage and a secondary storage. The primary storage has stored thereon first data, and sends this data to the host device in response to receiving a corresponding read command at the connection point. The secondary storage stores second data in response to receiving a write command including this data at the connection point, and sends the second data in response to receiving a corresponding read command at the connection point.
