Abstract
Methods and systems for restoring data in a degraded computer system are presented. In an embodiment, a method includes storing user data to a hard disk drive that is local to a user interface device. The method may also include storing a sub-set of the user data to a internal data storage device that is local to the user interface device. Additionally, the method may include copying the sub-set of the user data from the internal data storage device to a remote data storage device in response to a degradation of system performance of the user interface device. In an embodiment, the data may be retrieved from the internal data storage by an external system, even when the user interface device is in a degraded or unresponsive state.
