announced the issuance by the US Patent Office of
a patent that covers a method for allowing a
Windows based personal computer to be restarted,
operated and restored from a self-booting backup
residing on a USB external storage device. The
patent for invention number 8,775,783 is titled
- Method and apparatus for creating a
self-booting operating system on an external USB
storage device that is capable of performing a
complete restore to an internal system disk.
This patent covers backup applications that use
externally connected USB storage devices such as
a hard disk drive/SSD for storing a compressed

registry, and places this information on the
external USB storage device that then becomes
bootable by the Windows system.

storage device (Hard Drive/SSD)", said Ken Burke,

Product's long-standing leadership in the field
of data at rest security, data management and PC
