Abstract
Methods and systems for restoring storage objects are provided. The method includes determining if a source storage object and a target storage object are located within a same storage volume, where the source storage object is associated with a first drive and the target storage object is associated with a second drive; and using a point in time copy of the source storage object for restoring the source storage object at the second drive.
Claims21
A machine implemented method, comprising:
- determining if a source storage object and a target storage object are located within a same storage volume, where the source storage object is associated with a first drive and the target storage object is associated with a second drive;
- and
- using a point in time copy of the source storage object for restoring the source storage object at the second drive.
A non-transitory, machine readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method, comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:
- determine if a source storage object and a target storage object are located within a same storage volume, where the source storage object is associated with a first drive and the target storage object is associated with a second drive;
- and
- use a point in time copy of the source storage object for restoring the source storage object at the second drive.
A system comprising:
- a memory with machine readable medium comprising machine executable code having stored thereon instructions;
- and a processor module coupled to the memory, the processor module configured to execute the machine executable code to:
- determine if a source storage object and a target storage object are located within a same storage volume, where the source storage object is associated with a first drive and the target storage object is associated with a second drive;
- and
- use a point in time copy of the source storage object for restoring the source storage object at the second drive.
