1. A method of importing a data object into a container comprising the steps of:

  • specifying the container;

    querying meta-data for the container, including a next available offset;

    locating on or staging to a selected physical resource a copy of the container;

    writing the data object into the copy at the next available offset;

    updating meta-data for the copy to reflect the write operation; and

    marking the copy as dirty to indicate that the copy is to overwrite any non-current copies or synchronizing the copy with any other copies by overwriting any non-current copies with the copy, thereby helping avoid accesses to non-current copies.
