Abstract:

A framework for taking shadow copies and performing backups in systems that may have data spread across multiple machines. A requester communicates names to a primary coordinator and requests the creation of shadow copies of all the volumes associated with the names. The primary coordinator communicates with one or more writers and one or more secondary coordinators to create the shadow copies of the volumes. The primary and one or more secondary coordinators create shadow copies of one or more of the volumes that reside on the machines upon which they execute. After the shadow copies of the volumes have been created, the requester may obtain data from the shadow copies and create a consistent backup.
