Abstract
Performing disaster recovery in a cloud-based storage system, including: creating, by a storage system a snapshot of a dataset; uploading, from the storage system to a cloud computing environment, the snapshot; storing, by the cloud computing environment, the snapshot; detecting, by the cloud computing environment, that the dataset is not available on the storage system; and creating, by the cloud computing environment using the snapshot that is stored within the cloud computing environment, a cloud-based storage system that includes the dataset.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- instantiating a virtual storage system utilizing resources of a cloud computing platform;
- and
- copying one or more portions of a dataset stored by an external storage system into local instance stores of at least one virtual server operating in support of the virtual storage system, wherein the copied one or more portions are usable to recreate the dataset.
A system for performing disaster recovery to a cloud-based storage system, the system comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the system to carry out the steps of:
- instantiating a virtual storage system utilizing resources of a cloud computing platform;
- and
- copying one or more portions of a dataset stored by an external storage system into local instance stores of at least one virtual server operating in support of the virtual storage system, wherein the copied one or more portions are usable to recreate the dataset.
A computer program product disposed on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable medium comprising computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, to carry out the steps of:
- instantiating a virtual storage system utilizing resources of a cloud computing platform;
- and
- copying one or more portions of a dataset stored by an external storage system into local instance stores of at least one virtual server operating in support of the virtual storage system, wherein the copied one or more portions are usable to recreate the dataset.
