ABSTRACT:
A technique efficiently creates and serves a backup data set on a backup filer located at a remote site from a primary filer by essentially moving an entire operating environment of a primary data set to the backup filer. The primary filer is organized into one or more virtual filers (vfilers), one of which (the primary vfiler) is configured to serve data, such as the primary data set, for a client. In the event that the primary filer or primary vfiler becomes unavailable, the technique may be implemented as a disaster recovery or data migration sequence to enable efficient instantiation of a backup vfiler to serve the backup data set for the client.
