Abstract:
1. A machine implemented method, comprising: resizing a destination expandable storage volume at a second location to match components of a source expandable storage volume of a storage system stored at a first location; wherein the source expandable volume components include a first volume for storing information to access data containers using a directory path address, a second volume for storing information to access the data containers using a location identifier and an object identifier without having to use the directory path address of the first volume and a third volume for storing the data containers; transferring a base snapshot of the expandable storage volume components from the first location to the second location to be stored as a disaster recovery copy; presenting the disaster recovery copy using the second location to a computing system for reading and writing information; resizing the source expandable storage volume at the first location to match the destination expandable storage volume at the second location, after the disaster recovery copy is presented; and re-synchronizing the source expandable storage volume with the destination storage volume after the source expandable storage volume is made available from the first location.
