| description | This thesis describes a design for an automatic backup mechanism to be incorporated in a computer utility for the protection of on-line information against accidental or malicious destruction. This protection is achieved by preserving on magnetic tape recent copies of all items of information known to the online system. In the event of a system failure, file system damage is automatically assessed and missing information is recovered from backup storage. |
