Abstract: A method for data protection includes accepting data for storage from one or more data sources (24). The data is sent for storage in a primary storage device (28) and in a secondary storage device (32). While awaiting an indication of successful storage of the data in the secondary storage device, a record associated with the data is temporarily stored in a disaster-proof storage unit (48) adjacent to the primary storage device. When an event damaging at least some of the data in the primary storage device occurs, the data is reconstructed using the record stored in the disaster-proof storage unit and at least part of the data stored in the secondary storage device.

Abstract: A data processing method includes receiving data objects for storage by a primary storage device. A first instance of each of at least some of the received data objects is cached in a disaster-proof storage unit. A second instance of each received data object is sent for storage in a secondary storage device.A list of identifiers of the data objects that are cached in the disaster-proof storage unit at a given point in time is sent from the disaster-proof storage unit to the secondary storage device. Following an event that renders at least some of the data objects on the primary storage device inaccessible, a request sent to the secondary storage device to access a given data object is received. A selection is made, responsively to the list, to serve the cached first instance or the stored second instance of the given data object in response to the request.

Abstract: A computer is disclosed having a semiconductor memory; a disk data storage device of the type which automatically switches to a low power consumption mode when disk access is not required; and means for associating an application program with a plurality of data files which are usable by the application. The computer is arranged to load the plurality of data files from the disk data storage device into the semiconductor memory before use of the application and to save at least any modified ones of the plurality of files back to the disk data storage device after use of the application. In this way, access to the disk data storage device is not required during use of the application program, thereby reducing power consumption of the device.

Abstract: A method is provided for accessing data in an external virtual memory. A host receives from a storage manager a created handle for autonomous access of a volume. The volume forms part of accessible volumes in the virtual memory. The host autonomously provisions the handle to a selected volume from among the accessible volumes, and the host accesses the selected volume through the handle.
