11. A method for use in a computer system protecting in-process data in the event of a temperature anomaly;
- said method comprising the steps of;
processing data in and out of a volatile memory;
determining when said computer system is being subjected to a temperature anomaly;
processing any said determined temperature anomaly to determine the severity of said anomaly; and
storing in a non-volatile memory any data not already stored in a non-volatile memory upon a determination that a said anomaly is of a certain severity level. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A data recovery system for use in a computer system comprising:
-
means for determining when a temperature anomaly is occurring; and
means operative in response to said determining means for storing in non-volatile storage any data not already in non-volatile storage, said storing being at a location appropriate for said data. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
