ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of systems and methods are disclosed for performing online backup and restore of volume configuration information. In some embodiments, a method involves receiving a request to restore a volume configuration and, in response to the request, writing volume configuration information to a storage device. The volume configuration information includes a first disk signature, which identifies the storage device.
