Accessing overlay media over a network connection
First Claim
Patent Images
1. In a computing environment, a computer implemented method for providing overlay media via a cloud computing service over a network connection, the method comprising:
- intercepting input/output operations directed to a protected local storage volume; and
redirecting, via a filter, the input/output operations to the overlay media using the cloud computing service over the network connection, via a uniform resource locator and a common cloud identifier utilized to communicate data with the overlay media.

Abstract
The subject disclosure is directed towards providing overlay media to a computing device over a network connection. An input/output (I/O) filter on the embedded device/system may communicate data with the overlay media via a storage service. The I/O filter driver may connect to the storage service using a universal identifier. When an application issues read operations and/or write operations directed to local storage media, the I/O filter driver redirects the read operations and/or the write operations to the storage service over the network connection.

11. In a computing environment, a system for intercepting input/output operations directed to a protected local storage volume, the system comprising:
-
a computing device communicatively coupled to a cloud computing service server, the cloud computing service server comprising a cloud-based overlay media, the cloud computing service having a uniform resource locator associated therewith, the computing device comprising one or more processors, the protected local storage volume, and a filter driver, wherein, upon execution of the one or more processors, the filter driver is configured to; maintain data corresponding to write operations on the cloud-based overlay media over a network connection; using the uniform resource locator and a common cloud identifier utilized to communicate data with the cloud-based overlay media, retrieve data from the cloud-based overlay media corresponding to read operations for the protected local storage volume; and store the data corresponding to the write operations on the protected local storage volume in response to a commit command. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 20)

16. One or more computer memory devices having computer-executable instructions, which upon execution perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
intercepting write operations directed to an overlay-protected volume on local storage media; accessing a network connection using a uniform resource locator associated with a cloud computing service that controls a cloud-based overlay media; and instructing the cloud computing service to apply the write operations on the cloud-based overlay media, using the uniform resource locator and a common cloud identifier utilized to communicate data with the cloud-based overlay media. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
