METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY EXPOSING LOGICAL BACKUP AND RESTORE VOLUMES
摘要
A method and apparatus for storing and protecting a restore environment is provided. The restore environment is stored in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) volume which is hidden from an operating system during runtime operations. Upon detecting that a restore operation is required due to a corrupted or missing image, the RAID volume storing the restore environment is dynamically exposed so that it can be accessed by the restore operation.
