Abstract
An assembly, and an associated method, that facilitates restoration of data to a computer data storage subsystem subsequent to failure and repair of the subsystem. An identification indicia memory contains an up-to-date listing of the file name, or other identification indicia, of data stored at the data storage subsystem. The listing is accessed and used to retrieve a copy of data stored at the storage subsystem prior to its failure. Recovery operations write the copy of the data to the repaired or replaced storage medium of the data storage subsystem.
