Claim:
1. A method for collision avoidance using dynamic target volume allocation in a single repository computing system by a processor device in a computing environment, the method comprising: avoiding a collision between a new point-in-time copy backup and an existing point-in-time copy target volume containing an older point-in-time copy backup being ingested into the single repository by dynamically allocating a new point-in-time copy target volume for the new point-in-time copy backup; and dynamically allocating the new point-in-time copy backup target volume within the single repository for executing the new point-in-time copy backup to avoid a collision with at least one of a mount operation, a restore operation, and a clone operation when dynamically allocating the new point-in-time copy target volume for the new point-in-time copy backup.
