Abstract

A storage backup and filter module is utilized to restore a storage device to enable the storage device to become bootable. The storage backup and filter module makes a shadow storage device invisible to a Basic Input/Output system (BIOS) and an operating system. The storage backup and filter module stores a storage device image from the storage device to the shadow storage device. The storage backup and filter module restores at least one section of the storage device image from the shadow storage device to the storage device.
