Abstract
Systems and methods for providing an efficient partitioned resource server. In one embodiment, the partitioned resource server comprises a plurality of individual servers, and the individual servers support a storage service. The systems and methods provide archiving processes for a partitioned storage service. To this end, the systems and process may include a snapshot process operating on a server and capable of coordinating with other snapshot processes for generating state information representative of the state of the partitioned storage volume.
