Abstract
An archiving system allows a user to select files to be archived using a terminal connectable to a remote computer via a long distance telecommunication connection. The files may be selected from any memory accessible to the terminal including locally accessible memory and remotely accessible memory. The files are archived to a user space within a writable stable memory connected to the remote computer and may be restored to their original memory location in response to user commands from the terminal.
