HOST OPERATING SYSTEM INDEPENDENT STORAGE-RELATED REMOTE ACCESS AND OPERATIONS
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- circuitry to be comprised in at least one of a server and a host, the host being to execute an operating system, the circuitry being to at least one of generate, at least in part, and receive, at least in part, at least one request, the at least one request being to initiate, at least in part, at least one operation at the host, the at least one operation being to facilitate, at least in part, examination remotely from the host of information stored at the host, the at least one operation being performed independently from the operating system and being performed at least in part by the circuitry, the examination being to facilitate, at least in part, remotely from the host at least one of backup, recovery, and determination of corruption of mass storage data stored at the host.

Abstract
An embodiment may include circuitry that may be comprised in a host that may execute an operating system and/or in a server. The circuitry may generate, at least in part, and/or receive, at least in part, at least one request to initiate, at least in part, at least one operation at the host. The least one operation may facilitate, at least in part, examination remotely from the host of information stored at the host. The at least one operation may be performed independently from the operating system and also may be performed at least in part by the circuitry. The examination may facilitate, at least in part, remotely from the host, backup, recovery, and/or determination of corruption of mass storage data stored at the host. Of course, many variations, modifications, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.
