1. A method to clone a source computing system, comprising the steps of: selecting a memory space coupled to the source computing system, the source computing system comprising a main processor; 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, wherein a bit marker comprises a multi-bit digital word used to replace a respective unique string of bits in the uncoded data; storing encoded data in a protected memory coupled to the backup server, wherein the protected memory is coupled to an energy source to protect the memory from a power interruption, and coupled to a memory interface; monitoring, by a second processor in the memory interface, a status of the energy source and a status of the protected memory; reporting, by the second processor to the main processor, the monitored status of the energy source and the monitored status of the protected memory; 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.
