A system and method for maintaining the safety of volume operations. A storage controller receives a request to delete a first volume. In response to this request, the storage controller can delete a link between the first volume and its anchor medium. The storage controller can also delay the deletion of the first volume's anchor medium. Later on, if the user wishes to restore the first volume, the storage controller can reconnect the first volume to its previous anchor medium, effectively restoring the first volume to its former state and undoing the deletion operation. |
