  • Method and apparatus for moving large numbers of data files between computer systems using import and export processes employing a directory of file handles
    Patent number: 5819296
    Abstract: Large numbers of data files are moved between computer systems using an export process and an import process. To begin, a user specifies files to export from a first computer system. A volume location for each of the specified files is identified within the first computer system. File handles corresponding to the specified files are stored to a directory volume. Next, a user physically removes all of the identified volumes and the directory volume from the first computer system and installs them in the second computer system. The import process begins when a user for a second computer system loads the volumes and the directory volume into the second computer system. The imported files are then merged with existing files on the second computer system.
