Abstract
In part, the invention relates to a system and method for writing checkpointing data to a computer having a standby virtual machine for each checkpointed component on a computer having an active virtual machine. In one embodiment, the checkpointing data is processed on a per virtual machine basis. This is performed in a way that allows checkpointing data packets from multiple sources to be transferred asynchronously, subsequently reassembled into a coherent checkpoint message, and applied asynchronously.
