Abstract: Write IO operations on a set of storage volumes of a storage volume group are monitored, and one or more activity-based snapshot creation write IO thresholds are used to identify triggering events to create snapshots of the set of storage volumes. Activity-based snapshot creation write IO thresholds may be based on a total number of write IO operations that must occur on the set of storage volumes prior to creation of a snapset, on an average number of write IO operations that must occur on the set of storage volumes prior to creation of a snapset, a minimum number of write IO operations that must occur on each of the storage volumes prior to creation of a snapset, a maximum number of write IO operations that may occur on any one of the storage volumes prior to creation of a snapset, or a combination of write IO thresholds.
