Abstract
A system is described for replacing the desktop image on a computing device with a network-based desktop image (e.g., a backup copy of a desktop image) while allowing the user to resume working on the computing device with the new desktop with minimal downtime. The computing device is booted directly from the backed-up desktop image on the network. After boot, the system allows the user to use the computing device with the new desktop image by directing read requests for information that is only available on the network to the desktop image on the network. Write operations are performed on the local disk of the computing device. While the user is using the computing device, the desktop image is streamed in the background and stored on the local disk.
