Abstract
A storage system maintains a journal and a snapshot of one or more data volumes. Two journal entry types are maintained, an AFTER journal entry and a BEFORE journal entry. Two modes of data recovery are provided: 'fast' recovery and 'undo-able' recovery. A combination of both recovery modes allows the user to quickly recover a targeted data state.
