Computer Storage Synchronization and Backup System

摘要

A computer data protection system comprises a primary computer storage medium, a backup computer storage medium and a storage management system. The storage management system, in response to a command to write data to a file in the primary computer storage medium, initiates storage of data in a file in the backup computer storage medium and a file in the primary computer storage medium. The storage management system delays returning acknowledgement of completion of an operation to write the data to the primary computer storage medium until completion of storage of the data in the file in the backup computer storage medium and the file in said primary computer storage medium.
