A backup and recovery architecture for applications compatible with the Microsoft Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) includes a backup client module that includes an orchestration engine, an application manager, a common requestor, and a save transports component. The client module interacts with the VSS on the client in the generation of a shadow copy. Data is backed up from the shadow copy to a backup storage server. In various specific embodiments, the application manager includes functions that are application-specific and the orchestration engine includes functions that are not application-specific. A single consolidated log may be generated by the backup client module for a backup or recover operation.

An incremental backup of a database includes issuing a request to a copy service requesting a snapshot of a volume having the database, and identifying a writer of the database that should participate in creating the snapshot. From the snapshot, changes to the database since a last backup of the database and log files associated with the database that include data not yet committed to the database, are transmitted to a backup storage unit.
