Abstract:

Data recovery in a virtual storage system, including: detecting, within storage provided by a first tier of storage of the virtual storage system, data loss within a dataset, wherein recovery data for the dataset is stored in a second tier of storage; determining a recovery point for the dataset up to which a consistent version of the dataset is recoverable from the recovery data stored in the second tier of storage; and restoring, within the storage provided by the first tier of storage of the virtual storage system, the consistent version of the dataset.
