  • Patent number: 6266784
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a storage management system, an article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium, and a computer program product for saving a recovery plan file for a storage management server. The storage management system has a plurality of storage management servers at sites remote from one another coupled by a server-to-server infrastructure. A recovery plan file is saved for one of the storage management servers at one of the sites by establishing the server as a source for its recovery plan file. Another storage management server at a site remote from the source server site is established as a target for the recovery plan file. The source server transmits the source recovery plan file from the source server to the target server at the remote site over the server-to-server infrastructure. The source recovery plan file is managed at the target server according to defined criteria, for placement, backup, migration and expiration under the control of the source server.
