Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods of managing computing system restore points may include an apparatus having logic to receive a command to start a restore point for a solid state drive (SSD). The logic may also conduct a context drop of an indirection table from a volatile memory of the SSD to a non-volatile memory of the SSD in response to the command to start the restore point.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A system comprising: a processor; a solid state drive including volatile memory, non-volatile memory, and logic configured to, receive a first command to start a restore point for the solid state drive, and create a restore point in the non-volatile memory in response to the first command; and a computer readable storage medium including a set of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to issue the first command to start a restore…
