WSL 2 (announced May 2019 [6]), introduced a real Linux kernel – a managed virtual machine (via Hyper-V) that implements the full Linux kernel. As a result, WSL 2 is compatible with more Linux binaries as not all system calls were implemented in WSL 1. [7] Microsoft offers WSL for a variety of reasons.
In computing, a system image is a serialized copy of the entire state of a computer system stored in some non-volatile form, such as a binary executable file.. If a system has all its state written to a disk (i.e. on a disk image), then a system image can be produced by copying the disk to a file elsewhere, often with disk cloning applications.
System Restore is a feature in Microsoft Windows that allows the user to revert their computer's state (including system files, installed applications, Windows Registry, and system settings) to that of a previous point in time, which can be used to recover from system malfunctions or other problems.
Backup and Restore [1] (formerly Backup and Restore Center [2]) is the primary backup component of Windows Vista and Windows 7.It can create file and folder backups, as well as system images backups, to be used for recovery in the event of data corruption, hard disk drive failure, or malware infection.
Upon system startup, a menu asks whether start the operating system or the LightsOut recovery environment. LightsOut restore would augment the ISO image , which comes with Ghost. The latter contains a recovery environment that can recover a system without a working operating system.
The most common data recovery scenarios involve an operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, logical failure of storage devices, accidental damage or deletion, etc. (typically, on a single-drive, single-partition, single-OS system), in which case the ultimate goal is simply to copy all important files from the damaged media to another new drive.
Some virtual machine infrastructure can directly import and export a boot image for direct installation to "bare metal", i.e. a disk. This is the standard technique for OEMs to install identical copies of an operating system on many identical machines: The boot image is created as a virtual machine and then exported, or created on one disk and then copied via a boot image control ...
Alpine's package management system, the Alpine Package Keeper (apk), [a] [4] was originally a collection of shell scripts [16] but was later rewritten in C. [17] The aim of this package manager is to achieve a high install and update speed, which it does by writing new data directly in-place into the operating system's file system , rather than ...
