Claim 21:
22. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving requests to perform data operations on a first storage container;
determining whether the first storage container is set to a read-only status;
in response to a determination that the first storage container is not set to the read-only status:
allowing read operations to be performed on data on the first storage container,
allowing write operations to be performed on the data on the first storage container, and
allowing delete operations to be performed on the data on the first storage container; and

in response to a determination that the first storage container is set to the read-only status:
allowing read operations to be performed on the data on the first storage container, and
performing write operations on a second storage container that is set to a read-write status, including performing write operations intended for the first storage container on the second storage container, and performing write operations intended for a third storage container on the second storage container,
wherein redirection of the write operations intended for the first storage container to be performed on the second storage container while the first storage container is set to the read-only status is based on a management property of the first storage container and a management property of the third storage container.
