14/835961

Inventors:

- ARMONK NY, US
AARON JAMES QUIRK - CARY NC, US
JAMES PATRICK ROBBINS - AUSTIN TX, US
DREW HOOVER STERNESKY - CARY NC, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A technique of backing up a workload in a virtual environment includes identifying one or more files that are associated with the workload. One or more source volumes that include the one or more files are identified. A respective target volume is provisioned for each of the one or more source volumes identified. Only dirty blocks are copied (in a snapshot mode that prevents an update to the one or more source volumes during the snapshot mode) from each of the one or more source volumes to its respective target volume. The one or more dirty blocks are then copied from each target volume to a backup medium.
