A transaction method manages the storing of persistent data to be stored in at least one memory region of a non-volatile memory device before the execution of update operations that involve portions of the persistent data. Values of the persistent data are stored in a transaction stack that includes a plurality of transaction entries before the beginning of the update operations so that the memory regions involved in such an update are restored in a consistent state if an unexpected event occurs. A push extreme instruction reads from the memory cells a remaining portion of the persistent data that is not involved in the update operation, and stores the remaining portion in a subset of the transaction entries. The push extreme instruction is executed instead of a push instruction when the restoring of the portion of persistent data is not required after the unexpected event. The restoring corresponds to the values that the persistent data had before the beginning of the update operations.

The file system of a hard disk or optical disc may lose consistency when an unexpected event like a power failure occurs during recording. When recording a data stream, e.g. a video stream, an interruption would lead to a loss of stream data when previously known methods are used, because the file system is not updated. Further, the storage medium may become unusable. Dedicated file system data are put in regular intervals in user data fields of the data stream, providing the possibility to recover an interrupted stream recording. The method can also be used to recover data streams recorded on write-once discs, and it is independent from the used file system.
