FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of operations performed by the target copy manager 2122 to form a consistency group as of a consistency group time at a target volume 1042 at the target storage 1062. Upon initiating (at block 600) an operation to form a consistency group at the target volume 1042, the target copy manager 2122 receives (at block 602) tracks from the source server 2001 for the source volume 1041 and writes the tracks to the target volume 1042 of a mirror copy relationship 300i for the consistency group.
