Abstract
A method for creating a snapshot copy of a database object includes creating a mirror of the database on a plurality of volumes. A user may provide a request to create a snapshot of a database object to a database utility. The database utility responds to the snapshot request by providing an indication of selected volumes of the mirror that correspond to the database object to a volume manager. The volume manager then creates a snapshot volume for each of the selected volumes of the mirror.
