Abstract
Embodiments are directed to managing data in a file system that includes storage nodes and storage volumes in a cloud computing environment (CCE). A backup job may be executed to perform further actions, including: providing a backup identifier that is associated with the backup job; determining the storage nodes based on the file system and the CCE; disabling the file system by disabling the storage nodes, wherein each disabled storage node is associated with a shutdown timestamp; determining storage volumes associated with each disabled storage node; and generating storage images that archive a copy of information from the storage volumes; associating the storage images with the backup identifier; confirming that the file system is consistent based on an absence of file system activity occurring subsequent to each shutdown timestamp; and enabling the file system by enabling the storage nodes.
