Abstract
Leveraging snapshots of remote datasets in the cloud may include: receiving a request to access a snapshot of a dataset, wherein the snapshot is stored in a cloud-based storage system in a cloud computing environment; and mounting the snapshot to an initiator of the request without restoring the snapshot.
Claims20
A method of leveraging snapshots of remote datasets in the cloud comprising:
- receiving a request to access a snapshot of a dataset, wherein the snapshot is stored in a cloud-based storage system in a cloud computing environment;
- and
- mounting the snapshot to an initiator of the request without restoring the snapshot.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for leveraging snapshots of remote datasets in the cloud which, when executed, cause a processing device to:
- receive a request to access a snapshot of a dataset, wherein the snapshot is stored in a cloud-based storage system in a cloud computing environment;
- and
- mount the snapshot to an initiator of the request without restoring the snapshot.
