Transporting image files
First Claim
1. A method implemented at least in part by a computing device, the method for transporting an image file over a network including at least a first computer and a second computer, the image file comprising a control stream, a data stream, and a cluster map stream, the method comprising:
- parsing the image file into a plurality of segments including at least a first segment and a second segment, wherein the first segment comprises the control stream, the cluster map stream, a bitmap stream, a property stream, an audit trail stream, a fix up stream, and a first portion of the data stream and wherein the second segment comprises a second portion of the data stream;
sending the first segment from the first computer to the second computer; and
sending the second segment from the first computer to the second computer,wherein the cluster map stream includes a record that maps cluster locations of data of a file in a source storage media volume, from which the image file was generated, to its location within the data stream, the location within the data stream specified by a byte offset from the beginning of the data stream and a length.

Abstract
A method for transporting an image file over a network is provided. The network may include two or more computers, and the image file may include a control stream, a data stream, and a cluster map stream. The method may include parsing the image file into two or more segments. A first segment may include the control stream, the cluster map stream and a first portion of the data stream. A second segment includes a second portion of the data stream. The method may also include sending the first segment from a first computer to a second computer, and sending the second segment from the first computer to the second computer.

7. A system for transporting an image file over a network comprising at least a first computer and a second computer, the image file comprising a control stream, a data stream, and a cluster map stream, the system comprising:
-
means for parsing the image file into a plurality of segments including at least a first segment and a second segment, wherein the first segment comprises the control stream, the cluster map stream, and a first portion of the data stream and wherein the second segment comprises a second portion of the data stream; means for sending the first segment from the first computer to the second computer; and means for sending the second segment from the first computer to the second computer, wherein the cluster map stream includes a record that maps cluster locations of data of a file in a source storage media volume, from which the image file was generated, to its location within the data stream, the location within the data stream specified by a byte offset from the beginning of the data stream and a length. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. One or more computer readable storage media comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed, direct a computing based device to perform a method of transporting an image file over a network, the image file comprising a control stream, a data stream, and a cluster map stream, the method comprising:
-
parsing the image file into a plurality of segments including at least a first segment and a second segment, wherein the first segment comprises the control stream, the cluster map stream and a first portion of the data stream and wherein the second segment comprises a second portion of the data stream; sending the first segment to a second computing based device via the network; and sending the second segment to a second computing-based, wherein the cluster map stream includes a record that maps cluster locations of data of a file in a source storage media volume, from which the image file was generated, to its location within the data stream, the location within the data stream specified by a byte offset from the beginning of the data stream and a length. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
