Abstract
A method of handling multiple served backup processes comprising creating a cascade of target storage volumes from a plurality of target storage volumes by inserting each most recent target storage volumes between a last added target storage volume and a source storage volume, the most recent target storage volumes each having a copy rate faster than the last added target storage volume, such that each added target storage volume has a faster copy rate than an immediately prior added target storage volume, and a most recent target storage volume added to the cascade of target storage volumes has a fastest copy rate; and receiving one or more instructions initiating a plurality of served backup processes from the source storage volume to a plurality of target storage volumes.
