Automatic Selection of Storage Volumes in a Data Storage System A method of selecting a target volume in a storage system is provided. The method comprises defining one or more parameters for a plurality of storage volumes in the storage system according to user preference; dynamically collecting information related to the parameters while the storage volumes are used; receiving a request to backup a first source volume in the storage system; and selecting or creating the target volume based on the collected information.

A storage system and a method for copying data is provided. The method includes storing data at a first storage unit of a primary site, transferring the data from the first storage unit to a second storage unit of a remote site and updating shadow storage unit metadata to reflect the storing of the data at the first storage unit, and copying, in response to the updating of the shadow storage unit metadata, the data from an entity that differs from the shadow storage unit to a third storage unit.

A method for software processing includes obtaining change information, which records changes that have been performed in respective locations in software code. The change information is processed so as to assign to at least some of the locations respective priorities, which are indicative of respective likelihoods that the locations contain program faults. The at least some of the locations are presented to a user in accordance with the assigned priorities.

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for determining whether to use a full volume or repository for a logical copy backup space. A determination is made of a source volume to backup using a logical copy operation. The logical copy operation is completed upon indicating the source volume data to backup. During a logical copy duration, point-in-time data in the source volume as of a point-in-time when the logical copy was established is copied to a backup space in response to receiving an update to the point-in-time data. A history of writes to the source volume is processed to determine whether to allocate a full target volume as the backup space providing a corresponding data unit for each data unit in the source volume or allocate a repository as the backup space, wherein the repository uses less storage space than the full target volume. The logical copy operation using the determined full target volume or repository as the backup space is initiated.

A method for consistent version of multiple information items is provided. The method includes receiving a conditional request to copy a version of multiple information items at a condition fulfillment point of time that is associated with a fulfillment of a condition of the conditional request. Then determining that the condition is fulfilled, and participating in generating a condition fulfillment point in time version of the multiple information items.

A method for re-establishing a backup relationship between first and second volumes associated with one or more storage media in a data storage system is provided. The method comprises storing first information for preserving the backup relationship, in response to or in advance of receiving a request to terminate the backup relationship; recording changes to the first or second volumes that occur subsequent to terminating the backup relationship; and re-establishing the backup relationship between the first and second volumes according to the first information such that the first and second volumes are synchronized by merging the recorded changes with the first or second volumes.
