Various embodiments for managing data transmission errors in a computing storage environment, by a processor device, are provided. In one embodiment, data traffic is routed through a data path in the computing storage environment, and in response to detecting errors in routing the data traffic through the data path, the routing of the data traffic is switched to an alternate data path. In response to reaching a predetermined error threshold while routing the data traffic through the alternate data path the computing storage environment, at least certain data traffic is wirelessly transmitted from a source to a switch nearest a destination of the certain data traffic.

Wireless data transfer as an alternative method to overcome errors or noise in a storage environment

Various embodiments for managing data transmission errors in a computing storage environment, by a processor device, are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises, in response to reaching a predetermined error threshold while routing data traffic through the computing storage environment, wirelessly transmitting at least certain data traffic from a source to a switch nearest a destination of the certain data traffic.

A method, system, and computer program product for performing a backup operation in a computing environment is provided. A dataset corresponding to a backup copy is examined to determine if the dataset has changed from a previous backup operation. If the dataset has not changed, a backup inventory registry is consulted to determine a current version of a backup copy. The current version is one of a plurality of available versions. The backup operation is performed using the current version of the backup copy.
