摘要
A service specified by an application programming interface (API) acts as a coodinator/manager of different volume snapshot providers and an administrator of snapshot providers. The API acts to standardize protocols used in connection with different snapshot providers. An Interface Volume Snapshot Service Coordinator (VSSC) with appropriate API calls is provided, which is used to coordinate and administer multiple snapshot providers as well as maintain other snapshot information. The VSSC achieves this coordination and administration whether or not the snapshot providers are hardware-based, software-based or based in a combination of different underlying technologies. The VSSC thus performs coordination and administration operations, in addition to other operations relating to snapshot providers.
