Abstract
A method for backing up data includes: receiving, by a driver in a host controller of a data storage device, an indication of a threatening event identifying one or more data files in the data storage device; delaying, by the driver, the threatening event; and backing up, by the driver, the one or more data files in the data storage device, prior to allowing the threatening event.
Claims8
A method for controlling data access in a computing device, comprising:
- establishing, by a hardware device in a computing device, a first internal communication channel with a host controller that is internal to a data storage device in the computing device, wherein the first internal communication channel is internal to the computing device;
- establishing, by the hardware device, a second internal communication channel with a separate device in the computing device, wherein the second internal communication channel is internal to the computing device;
- receiving, by a receiver of the hardware device, an internal data request from the separate device using the second internal communication channel, wherein the internal data request is internal to the computing device;
- writing to a memory of the hardware device, the contents of the received data request;
- and
- forwarding, by a transmitter of the hardware device and internally in the computing device, the received data request to the host controller using the first internal communication channel.

A system for controlling data access in a computing device, comprising:
- a computing device including a hardware device, a separate device, and a data storage device;
- the data storage device including a host controller that is internal to the data storage device;
- and
- the hardware device configured to
- establish a first internal communication channel with a host controller of a data storage device in the computing device, wherein the first internal communication channel is internal to the computing device,
- establish a second internal communication channel with the separate device in the computing device, wherein the second internal communication channel is internal to the computing device,
- receive an internal data request from the separate device using the second internal communication channel, wherein the internal data request is internal to the computing device,
- store, in a memory of the hardware device, the received data request, and
- forward, internally in the computing device, the received data request to the host controller using the first internal communication channel.
