Abstract

See full text

In a continuous data protection system having a primary volume and a secondary volume, a method for data recovery begins by selecting a snapshot of the primary volume to be recovered and a location on which the snapshot is to be loaded. A point in time (PIT) map is created for the selected snapshot, and the selected snapshot is loaded at the selected location. A data block from the PIT map is resolved to determine which block on the secondary volume is presented as being part of the snapshot. The snapshot is accessed via a host computer as if the snapshot was the primary volume at an earlier point in time, corresponding to the time of the selected snapshot.
