Systems and methods are described for performing an instant recovery of data associated with a locked snapshot. In various examples, a recovery of data associated with a locked snapshot is performed by making use of volume cloning functionality instead of making an actual copy of the data to be recovered. In one embodiment, the resulting volume clone representing the recovery volume is cleared of all data protection information (e.g., WORM flags and/or lock metafiles) that was previously used to protect the content from being changed when stored on the data protection volume so as allow the recovery volume to be used in read-write mode.

Recovery of data associated with a locked snapshot via volume cloning functionality

A method performed by one or more processing resources of one or more computer systems is disclosed. The method comprises receiving an object at a first of a plurality of nodes from a second of the plurality of storage nodes within a cluster switch fabric, examining a value associated included within the received object, wherein the value is associated with a clock value of the second node and updating a clock operating at the first node with the received value.
