Abstract
A data protection server running on a Geographically Dispersed Disaster Restart (GDDR) node provides auto-restart of generation of snapsets of versioned data groups (VDGs). Queries are sent to remotely monitor the state of VDG snapset generation at each of a plurality of datacenters at which a host application image is replicated and snapped. Responsive to determining that snapset generation of a VDG at a remote site has ceased, a command is sent to that site to prompt auto-restart of generation of snapsets of the VDG. If the VDG is undefined at the remote site, then a command is sent to the remote site to prompt auto-import of a definition of the VDG before auto-restarting generation of snapsets of the VDG. Either or both auto-import and auto-restart may be enabled or disabled for different VDGs, and auto-restart may be suspended if the VDG data is frozen.
