Abstract:
Storage administrators would like to create snapshots of a storage array as frequently as possible, but too many concurrent snapshots can place an unnecessary load on the storage array. Described herein are techniques for scheduling snapshots on the storage array with the objective of minimizing the maximum number of simultaneous snapshots and/or temporally spacing apart snapshots from each other.
