Abstract
Real system devices (RSD's) emulate virtual system devices (VSD's); system elements can use RSD's and manipulate VSD's, while users can only use VSD's. Identifying when RSD's have erroneous data. Providing a mapping of RSD's to VSD's, to recover a maximum set of VSD's. Providing a mapping of VSD's to RSD's, to recover a specified most valuable VSD. Reconstructing VSD's from RSD's having erroneous data, and coordinating with a user's assistance to couple RSD's in an order allowing data recovery. Metadata is maintained coupling data identifiable on VSD's with corresponding data on RSD's; it is possible to trace connections between RSD's and VSD's even without complete data.
