  • Method for insuring data integrity for mirrored independently accessible memory devices
    Patent number: 6629108
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for preserving and identifying recency information for data stored in multiple mirrored memory locations in a redundant data storage mechanism. The inventive approach builds upon the benefits presented by redundant storage by appending an indication of storage recency to stored data, thereby enabling a future read operation to identify a degree of recency for data stored in each of a plurality of mirrored sites. The read operation will generally return only the most recently stored data found among the plurality of mirrored locations.
