Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
generating an operation identifier to represent an overall dataset image operation for producing a dataset image for a data set stored across a first volume maintained by a first storage system and a second volume maintained by a second storage system; and
executing the overall dataset image operation to create the dataset image, wherein the execution includes:
sending a first request with the operation identifier to the first storage system to create a first volume image of the first volume as part of the dataset image; and
sending a second request with the operation identifier to the second storage system to create a second volume image of the second volume as part of the dataset image, wherein completion of the overall dataset image operation creates the dataset image as including the first volume image and the second volume image.
