Abstract
A system includes one or more protected nodes within a protected system, where each protected node is configured to be coupled to a storage device. The system also includes a server configured to perform a check-in process so that one or more files on the storage device are (i) accessible by the one or more protected nodes within the protected system and (ii) not accessible by nodes outside of the protected system while the storage device is checked-in. The server is also configured to perform a check-out process so that the one or more files on the storage device are (i) accessible by the nodes outside of the protected system and (ii) not accessible by the one or more protected nodes within the protected system while the storage device is checked-out. The server could be configured to modify a file system of the storage device during the check-in process.
