Providing an eventually-consistent snapshot of nodes in a storage network

Systems and methods which provide for obtaining snapshots of one or more nodes, while having minimal impact on performance and throughput of the storage network are provided. Embodiments may involve a method of obtaining snapshots of individual node data within a clustered storage network having a plurality of nodes without requiring quiescing of every node. The snapshots may be obtained in a rolling fashion, e.g., moving across the individual nodes of a cluster either sequentially or non-sequentially. In other embodiments snapshots may be obtained in an asynchronous manner. The obtained snapshots then collectively define an eventually consistent view of the entire system. Such a view may be utilized to provide for mirroring functionality, e.g. to provide for DR and/or HA capabilities.
