Summary:A system for data backup and recovery. A backup storage in a form of a file or a directory is created on a storage media. The backup storage is "hidden" from the file system, form user processes, form an operating system and from a data storage driver. The backup file is visible to only backup/restore application. The data is backed up into the "hidden" backup storage. The files system, the user processes, the operating system and the data storage driver do not know about the backup file and the areas of the storage media occupied by the backup file. When a write request for writing a data block to the space within the storage media occupied by the files of the "hidden" backup is received the write request is redirected to a free space on the storage media.
