US Patent 11579780 Volume remote copy based on application priority

Example implementations described herein involve systems and methods which automatically determine volumes to be replicated for disaster recovery based on the execution priority of an application which uses the volumes. Such example implementations can involve systems and methods involving creating a volume in a first storage system for each of one or more containers newly launched on one or more servers managing a container orchestrator; and establishing replication of the volume for the each of the newly launched one or more containers to a second storage system in order from highest container priority to lowest container priority.
