Byte

The basic unit of storage for many computers; typically, one configuration consists of 8 bits used to represent data plus a parity bit for checking the accuracy of representation.


Similar items:
A bit or series of bits appended to a character or block of characters to ensure that the information received is the same as the information that was sent. Parity is used for error detection. Bit(s) used to determine whether a block of data has been altered.

Mirror image backups (also referred to as bitstream backups) involve the backup of all areas of a computer hard disk drive or another type of storage media (e. g. , Zip disks, floppy disks, Jazz disks, etc. ). Such mirror image backups exactly replicate all sectors on a given storage device. Thus, all files and ambient data storage areas are copied. Such backups are sometimes referred to as “evidencegrade” backups and they differ substantially from standard file backups and network server backups. The making of a mirror image backup is simple in theory, but the accuracy of the backup must meet evidence standards. Accuracy is essential and to guarantee accuracy, mirror image backup programs typically rely on mathematical CRC computations in the validation process. These mathematical validation processes compare the original source data with the restored data. When computer evidence is involved, accuracy is extremely important, and the making of a mirror image backup is typically described as the preservation of the “electronic crime scene. ”

A new version of the SuperFrame that allows for more frames to be grouped together. In a T1 circuit, each of the 24 DS0 channels are sampled every 125 microseconds and 8 bits are taken from each. If you multiply the 8 bits by the 24 channels, you get 192 bits in a chain, and then add one bit for timing, you get 193 total bits in one frame. Twelve frames comprise the SuperFrame. For the Extended SuperFrame, we double the number of frames, making the total 24.

A newer version of this T1 formatting is called Extended SuperFrame (ESF).
