Abstract
An Integrity Server computer for economically protecting the data of a computer network's servers, and providing hot standby access to up-to-date copies of the data of a failed server. As the servers' files are created or modified, they are copied to the Integrity Server. The invention provides novel methods for managing the data stored on the Integrity Server, so that up-to-date snapshots of files of the protected file servers are stored on low-cost media such as tape, but without requiring that a system manager load large numbers of tapes.
