Abstract

In some variants computing systems and methods are described in regard to protecting a first function in a first computing environment by proactively and selectively recording artifacts that support the function, thus allowing a computing environment to retrieve the older artifacts even after newer versions are implemented. Such proactive retention allows a restoration of or other reliable access to the function, even after attacks or other unnoticed changes to the function, optionally as a component of a software migration to a safer computing environment.
