Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A group of computers is configured to implement a block storage service. The block storage service includes a block-level storage for storing data from a set of distinct computing instances for a set of distinct users. An interface is configured to allow the set of distinct users to specify respective destinations for storing backup copies of respective data stored in the block-level storage for the distinct users. At least some of the respective destinations are for different storage systems remote from one another. A backup copy function is provided for creating backup copies of data stored in the block-level storage by the set of distinct computing instances for the set of distinct users. The backup copies are stored in different destination locations specified by respective ones of the plurality of distinct users via the interface.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: providing, by a network-based block storage service, block-level storage via a network to a plurality of distinct computing instances for a plurality of distinct users, wherein the distinct computing instances execute in a network-based computing virtualization environment, and the network based block storage service provides respective portions of the block-level storage to respective ones of the distinct computing instances as resp…
