A method and apparatus for creating a dynamic storage pool for data recovery,
is
presented. The method may include determining amount of an available storage area,
identifying storage capabilities of the available storage area, selecting a protection
policy scheme for replication of an application server data based on the identified
storage capabilities, provisioning a volume from the available storage area to
the application server data, and replicating the application server data based
on the selected protection policy scheme for storage to the available storage area.
