    摘要: An initial setup method (100) stores recovery tools (400) and a further setup script (402) on a computer (1000) which has an operating system (302) that need not have any recovery capabilities. At the user site, a further setup method (700, 800) reserves (706) a container space (500) in the file system space (304), creates (716) an image (1008) of the main partition (300), and stores (720) the image in the container. If the partition is corrupted later, the computer can still be booted using virtual boot tools (602), the image can be retrieved (914) from the container even though the partition around it was lost, and the image can then be deployed onto disk (200) over the corrupted partition, thereby restoring a working partition to the computer. This can be done without secondary media such as a recovery CD or floppy, and without a network connection.

    摘要: Methods are provided for retargeting captured images to new hardware. An image taken from a computer having hardware drivers and other system information in one hardware configuration can be modified to adapt it for use on a computer having different hardware requiring different drivers, even when the second hardware configuration was not known at the time of imaging. Systems and configured storage media for retargeting captured images to new hardware are also provided.

    摘要: Tools and techniques are provided for using a snapshot, not a full volume copy, to preserve deleted items when creating an image file with other items from a computer storage volume. One method classifies items as desired or not, enables snapshotting, then deletes undesired items, then creates a blockwise volume image in which the deleted items are not imaged, and finally disables snapshotting. Systems and configured storage media for imaging selected files and folders are also provided.

    摘要: The invention provides tools and techniques for running pre-boot code on a computer from a file stored in a file system on the computer. The pre-boot code may include an operating system which is not otherwise installed on the system. For instance, the pre-boot code may be used to boot a DOS operating system on a computer which lacks a DOS hard disk partition. The pre-boot code may contain code to perform operations that are difficult to perform after the operating system is booted, such as code for monitoring the boot process to help debug it. The pre-boot code is obtained from the file without using booted file system code, and is then executed. The code may be obtained by redirecting floppy drive I/O to read the pre-boot code from a copy in memory, or to read it as needed from one or more files on the hard disk.

    摘要: The present invention provides tools and techniques for facilitating (314) management of storage (122), software (118), and other resources of a computer (102) at a distinct management computer (110) using a disassociated ample image (104) of the managed computer's storage. Ample images may be searched (310) to identify (414) infected files or illegal files, to extract (410) disk usage information, or for other reasons. Ample images may be modified (312) and then deployed (316) back to the original imaged computer and/or to other computers outside the management node. Modifications may change (502, 504, 506) application software, change (508, 510, 512) hardware drivers to match hardware changes on the target computer(s), manipulate (520) partitions, and/or perform other steps to optimize storage, software, or other resources.

    摘要: The invention provides systems and methods for storing and recovering images in a computer partition, and more particularly to tools and techniques for placing and extracting images to and from the same partition that is imaged. Both a factory image and a user-updateable image may be stored on the same partition. Copies of a portion of the partition data and/or the system data for the imaged partition can be stored at a specified location within the imaged partition, in a separate partition, or on a removable recovery medium, thereby allowing images to be recovered after disruption of the imaged partition's system data. The image may be stored contiguously or non-contiguously. The image may also be stored as a system file or as an image container which comprises one or more than one image file. To speed restoration time and to assist recovery, the image may be stored at or near the end of the partition. Familiar or novel image formats may be used. By storing one or more partition images in the imaged partition, the invention eliminates consumer confusion between bootable partition size and disk size, without sacrificing the advantages provided by imaging.
