Abstract
A method and system is provided for optimization of restoration and loading of an operating system of a computer. An exemplary method includes initiating a loading of the operating system of the computer and intercepting a read request of data of a data volume from the operating system. Furthermore, the method includes determining whether the data has previously been restored during the loading of the operating system, and, if the data has previously been restored, performing the read request and returning to the loading of the operating system of the computer. Alternatively, if the data has not previously been restored, determining whether the data is stored in cache of the computer. If the data is not be stored in the cache, the method includes reading the data from a data archive and storing the data read from the data archive to the cache.
