One example method includes sending, from a manager client to a manager server, a recover request that identifies data targeted for recovery and restoration, and receiving, at the manager client, from a server agent at the manager server: a notification that a recover session corresponding to the recover request has been created; and a recover session ID. The method also includes performing, by a backup client, a deviceless recover and restore process after the recover session has been created, and transmitting, after completion of the deviceless recover and restore process, a communication from the manager client to the server agent indicating that the deviceless recover and restore process is complete.

Deviceless brokerless backup

In one example, a method for backing up data is performed in part by a manager server that receives a request for a deviceless backup session. The manager server authenticates the request and authorizes media database and index database operations. Next, the requested deviceless backup session is created and a backup session ID is transmitted that corresponds to the created deviceless backup session. The manager server then spawns an agent to handle communications with other devices. An update is then received concerning a backup performed with respect to a target device, and a confirmation sent that that the backup has been completed. Catalogue information concerning the completed backup is then received and stored, and the deviceless backup session and agent terminated.
