1. A method of generating a frozen image of a system having a plurality of logical storage objects, including a first logical storage object, wherein the first logical storage object includes a storage device, the method comprising: building a logical storage tree with the first logical storage object as the root object and with the storage device as a leaf node; starting at the leaf node, constructing a freeze list having one or more freeze methods, wherein constructing a freeze list includes receiving information about storage device split and quiesce characteristics from the storage device; modifying the freeze list as a function of traversing the logical storage tree to the root object, wherein modifying includes adding information about split and quiesce characteristics for logical storage objects between the root object and the leaf node; selecting a freeze method from the freeze list; and freezing the first logical storage object using the selected freeze method.
