Abstract
A remote snapshot is taken of a data associated with a node within a cluster of nodes by using a snapshot facility of an operating system. A set of backup data components is recorded. The data is remotely restored by interpreting the remote snapshot with the set of backup data components.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- taking a remote snapshot of a data associated with a node within a cluster of nodes by using a snapshot facility of an operating system;
- wherein:
- the cluster of nodes provides a failover clustering service provided by an operating system for the cluster of nodes;
- and
- the snapshot facility does not need to be installed on top of any software provided by a standard distribution of the operating system;
- recording a set of backup data components;
- and
- remotely restoring the data by interpreting the remote snapshot with the set of backup data components.

A system, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- take a remote snapshot of a data associated with a node within a cluster of nodes by using a snapshot facility of an operating system;
- wherein:
- the cluster of nodes provides a failover clustering service provided by an operating system for the cluster of nodes;
- and
- the snapshot facility does not need to be installed on top of any software provided by a standard distribution of the operating system;
