Abstract
A storage array creates snapshots of each of a plurality of devices of a storage group associated with a production device on which active application data is logically stored. Metadata that indicates associations between the snapshots and the devices is stored on cloud storage with the snapshots as a snapset object. A program running on a management station used the snapset metadata to automatically create new devices on which to recover the snapshots on a selected storage array and uses the snapset metadata to cause the snapshots to be automatically written from the cloud storage system to the new devices on the selected storage array.
