Abstract
Embodiments of a method for providing cluster-wide, application consistent operations in a distributed network by creating a single volume snapshot object on a server for all of volumes of a distributed application. A snapshot controller creates volume snapshot content for each volume, and an external snapshot process, upon creation of the volume snapshot content, creates a snapshot of each volume on a backend storage device, wherein all snapshots for each volume are created at the same time to ensure consistency across all volumes being snapshotted at a certain moment.
