Claim:
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, readable through a computing system and having a set of instructions embodied therein that is configured to be executable through the computing system, comprising: instructions associated with causing an application to initiate a data read operation against a first storage system for at least one data write to provide a capability to store the read data write into a second storage system and to preserve a version of the data write for a time of read from the first storage system for subsequent viewing and recovery through: specifying a source machine address and a destination machine address of the at least one data write; specifying a storage module in the first storage system to receive the at least one data write, the storage module comprising at least one of a storage device and a partition; specifying at least one physical memory offset in the storage module, the offset earmarking a beginning of a payload portion of the at least one data write; specifying a bit length of the payload portion of the at least one data write; transmitting location information of the at least one data write in the first storage system to the second storage system, the location information being transmitted as and when each save to the first storage system occurs; and providing a capability to the second storage system to continuously read the at least one data write and subsequent changes thereto at the first storage system based on the transmitted location information.
