1. A method to clone a source computing system, comprising the steps of: selecting a memory space coupled to the source computing system; retrieving uncoded data from the selected memory space; encoding the uncoded data by use of a bit-marker-based encoding process executing on a backup server; storing encoded data in a protected memory coupled to the backup server, wherein the protected memory is protected from a power interruption; retrieving the encoded data from the protected memory; and decoding the encoded data onto a target computing system, wherein the target computing system is separate from the source computing system.
