Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product that enable integrated scheduling and management of frozen images for backup and recovery purposes. Frozen images are created, cataloged, and managed in accordance with a backup policy including a schedule for generating frozen images. Minimal data are saved to allow fast synchronization of the persistent frozen images with production data, and frozen images are cataloged in a catalog that may include entries for other types of backups to provide a single source of information for all backups of production data.
