Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method for using a snapshot as a data source is described. In some cases, the system stores a snapshot and an associated data structure or index to storage media to create a secondary copy of a volume of data. In some cases, the associated index includes application specific data about a file system or other application that created the data to identify the location of the data. The associated index may include three entries, and may be used to facilitate the recovery of data via the snapshot.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. In a data management system residing within a private computer network that includes one or more data storage resources, a method of creating an index of data stored on a primary volume of a client computer coupled to the private computer network, the method comprising: performing a snapshot of data stored on the primary volume of the client computer using a hardware-based snapshot mechanism, wherein the performed snapshot includes a point in time representation of t…
