Abstract:
Examples of systems described herein provide for share-level disaster recovery on, for example, virtualized file servers by enabling additional snapshots, including self-service recovery (SSR) snapshot migration in addition to replication snapshot migration to a disaster recovery location. In examples, a disaster recovery location may receive a replication of a share of a file system, the snapshot configured for recovery of the share at the disaster recovery location. The replication snapshot may include one or more additional snapshots, each taken since a time of a previous replication snapshot. At least one of the one or more additional snapshots may include an SSR snapshot, identifiable based at least on a tag associated with a process used to create the SSR snapshot at a primary location. The at least one additional snapshot may be extracted for use by another instance of the process at the disaster recovery location.
