Method for automatic recovery using microshard data fragmentation

11) A system for automatic recovery of a portion of source data that is broken into a plurality of microshard data fragments, comprising:

• a microshard data fragment engine generating a plurality of microshard data fragments from the portion of the source data;
• a first storage resource containing a plurality storage elements;
• a second storage resource containing the same number of storage elements as the first storage resource;
• a storage resource manager, coupled to the microshard data fragment engine, the first storage resource and the second storage resource, the storage resource manager storing one of the plurality of microshard data fragments in a first storage element of the first storage resource and creating and storing a duplicate of the one of the plurality of microshard data fragments in a first storage element of the second storage resource, the storage resource manager further determining whether an error has occurred in the first storage element of the first storage resource;
• and
• a first recovery storage resource coupled to the storage resource manager;
• wherein the storage resource manager further creates and stores a duplicate of the microshard data fragment stored in the first storage element of the second storage resource in a first recovery storage resource based on the determination;
• and
• wherein the duplicate of the microshard data fragment stored in the first recovery storage resource is used to recover the portion of the source data.
