    Abstract: The present invention is directed to backing up temporal information in a primary storage memory of a computer system. A temporal backup memory is provided as being physically separate from a primary hard drive of the computer system, and removable coupled to a primary drive assembly with the primary hard drive. Data is designated for temporal backup by data parameters, such as file name, type, or resident directory name. A temporal time period is specified as the time between successive temporal backups. At the end of each temporal time period, the primary hard drive is scanned for data designed for temporal backup and that has been temporally modified, i.e., modified since the last successful backup. The data on the hard drive designated for temporal backup is compared with archival data so as not to duplicate archived data in the temporal backup memory. Free memory space in the temporal memory is tracked.
