Abstract

Embodiments of methods for asynchronous image repository functionality are presented. In an embodiment, a method includes storing user data in a data storage device that is local to a user interface device, storing a copy of the user data to a storage location that is remote from the user interface device, performing a service for a user of the user interface device using the copy of the user data stored to the storage location, and communicating information associated with the service back to the user interface device. Additionally, the data image may be directly scanned for malicious software. In a further embodiment, the method may include providing a software inventory associated with the user data, such as software, stored in the image.
