Abstract

Systems and methods of managing computing system restore points may include an apparatus having logic to receive a command to start a restore point for a solid state drive (SSD). The logic may also conduct a context drop of an indirection table from a volatile memory of the SSD to a non-volatile memory of the SSD in response to the command to start the restore point.
