PHYSICAL TO VIRTUAL DISKS CREATION (P2V) METHOD, BY HARVESTING DATA FROM CRITICAL SECTORS

摘要

A virtual disk can be created by using data from critical sectors of a primary physical disk. The creation of a virtual disk involves receiving sector numbers and corresponding data for critical sectors of a primary physical disk on a primary computing system, creating a virtual disk that comprises sectors, and writing data from the critical sectors of the primary physical disk into respective sectors of the virtual disk.
