Abstract
An information handling system may include at least one processor; a network interface; and a physical storage resource including a flash translation layer (FTL) operable to provide a mapping between logical storage addresses and physical storage addresses. The information handling system may be configured to: receive a request for a snapshot; for used portions of the physical storage resource, change a metadata identifier from a used status to a snapshot status; prevent deletion of those portions associated with the snapshot status; and transmit, via the network interface, information associated with the portions that are associated with the snapshot status.
