System and method of tracking and communicating computer states

摘要

The invention relates to a system and method of tracking and communicating computing states of a first computer device for registering said computing states by a second computer device. The first computer device is connected to the second computer device and configured for assuming a plurality of successive computing states. Jobs are assigned to a different set of jobs each time a state transition has been detected. New sets are defined only when a state transition has been detected and typically not when a snapshot is made resulting in saving storage space.
