ABSTRACT:
A data backup copying session on a data processing system is secured responsive to initiation of the data backup session by an application executing on a processing unit by generating a unique identifier for the data backup session. Thereafter, all member paths of a group of paths designated by the processing unit for communication between itself and the first storage subsystem are identified and associated with the data backup session. Access to the session is thereafter allowed only along a member path of the group of paths associated with the data backup session. The system and method of the invention further provide for fault recovery and protection against excessive demand on storage control unit memory.
