Recovery point data view formation with generation of a recovery view and a coalesce policy

A method, comprising:

• generating a data operation from a client device associated with a network;
• forming a data view around a recovery point through communicating with the client device through the network following at least one of a pause and a suspension of the data operation;
• generating, in accordance with an appropriate request from the client device through the network, a recovery snapshot at a predetermined interval characteristic of the recovery point indicated through an events module, the recovery snapshot having an ability to position forward and backward from the recovery point when a rolling algorithm is applied, thereby providing an ability to roll to a data state occurring earlier in time compared to the recovery point and to a data state occurring later in time compared to the recovery point;
• and
• generating, through communication with the client device through the network, a coalesce policy around the recovery point to reduce a storage requirement.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions embodied therein that are executed through a computing system, comprising:

• instructions for forming a data view around a recovery point through communicating with a client device through a network following at least one of a pause and a suspension of a data operation generated by the client device;
• instructions for generating, in accordance with an appropriate request from the client device through the network, a recovery snapshot at a predetermined interval characteristic of the recovery point indicated through an events module, the recovery snapshot having an ability to position forward and backward from the recovery point when a rolling algorithm is applied, thereby providing an ability to roll to a data state occurring earlier in time compared to the recovery point and to a data state occurring later in time compared to the recovery point;
• and
• instructions for generating, through communication with the client device through the network, a coalesce policy around the recovery point to reduce a storage requirement.
