Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a point-in-time copy command for a virtual volume exposed within a storage virtualization layer of a storage system. The point-in-time copy command is provided to one or more data arrays underlying the storage virtualization layer. The virtual volume is associated with physical storage within the one or more data arrays, thus defining associated physical storage. A level of high-availability is identified for the associated physical storage. A copy of the associated physical storage is generated that has the same level of high-availability, thus defining a high-availability copy.
