Abstract
A system and method for managing storage of a digital stream including writing data of the stream to a network storage device, while monitoring availability of the network storage device, switching to writing additional data of the stream to a standby storage device while continuing monitoring the availability of the network storage device, if the network storage device becomes unavailable, switching back to writing additional data of the stream to the network storage device while continuing monitoring the availability of the network storage device, when the network storage device becomes available, and writing to the network storage device the additional data that was written to the standby storage device while the network storage device was unavailable, concurrently with the writing of the additional data of the stream to the network storage device.
