  • System and method for providing backup service continuity using a virtual backup service path
    Patent number: 7512758
    Abstract: Provided are a system and method for using a plurality of virtual backup service paths to dynamically switch between storage devices based on a plurality of scenarios. In one example multiple backup service groups are defined. Multiple scenarios that each reference at least one virtual backup service path are also defined. Each virtual backup service path may be defined by at least one network address identifying a storage device. One of the scenarios is selected based on a service level of one or more storage devices, and the virtual backup service path identified by the selected scenario is chosen as a backup destination for at least one of the service groups.
