In order to solve the problem of software system protection and recovery in large computer laboratory , this paper analyses the current state of software system protection & recovery technology and it's defects in safety and stability. The reason causing these problems are discussed. Some solution plans are suggested.The authors hold that there have two way to solve these problems completely , one is strengthening the support from hardware , particularly strengthening the support to recover card directly from BIOS, another is developing new Host/Terminal computer system , protecting software system by ARC.
