ABSTRACT:
A system and method employing a virtual restore disk, such as a vendor supplied CD-ROM, allows software restoration from the vendor's software library. The customer's original software configuration is archived and the customer may use the virtual restore disk for restore purposes as necessary, e.g., to restore a deleted file, replace a suspected corrupted file, etc. The vendor maintains updated versions of the software so that unlike a static restore disk, the customer is not limited to the releases available at the time of system purchase. The virtual restore disk can also be used to update a user's system, even in the absence of system malfunction.
