Abstract
Protecting data stored on a storage system through the use of different storage levels, including: creating a snapshot of a dataset stored on a storage system, wherein the snapshot includes user data and metadata, and wherein the metadata describes the storage layout of the dataset, offloading the snapshot to a first storage level storage system, and migrating, in accordance with a lifecycle policy, the snapshot from the first storage level storage system onto a second storage level storage system.
