A method for checking of asset protection infrastructure includes: receiving a request specifying an asset source, an asset, and a target storage; performing a check of the asset source to obtain an asset source configuration state; performing a second check of the target storage to obtain a target storage configuration state; extracting an asset source connection attempt result from the asset source configuration state; extracting a target storage connection attempt result from the target storage configuration state; making a determination that the asset source connection attempt result and target storage connection attempt result both reflect a successful result; performing, based on the determination, an asset backup configuration check of a backup operation involving the asset to obtain an asset backup configuration state; generating a response including the asset source configuration state, asset backup configuration state, and target storage configuration state; and returning the response in response to the request.

Configuration checking of asset protection infrastructure

A portable, self-contained data mover container with all required packages for data management, and which can be hosted on a physical host, VM, cloud or appliance, such as a storage array. The data mover container protects multiple workloads such as NAS, native OS filesystem, applications, and so on. An automated process spins up and tears down containers without any impact on the host. If a container fails to run on a host if desired resources are not available, it automatically runs on other hosts for same data set. Minimal user intervention to achieve scale and performance is required, as the system automatically computes the desired number of containers required depending upon dataset and available resources. Containers can be patched and upgraded independently on a host without making any change to the hosting environment.

A computing device for storing backups of virtual machines includes a persistent storage and a backup manager. The persistent storage stores backup policies. The backup manager identifies an end of a backup generation session for a virtual machine of the virtual machines and, in response to identifying the end of the backup generation session, identifies a continuity chain implicated by the backup generation session using the backup policies; performs a membership analysis of the identified continuity chain to identify a continuity state of the continuity chain; makes a first determination that the identified continuity chain is broken based on the identified continuity state; and, in response to the first determination, remediates the continuity chain.

System and method for resilient backup generation

A storage for storing backups of virtual machines includes a persistent storage and a garbage collector. The persistent storage stores the backups. The garbage collector identifies an end of a backup generation session; in response to identifying the end of the backup generation session, the garbage collector performs a date analysis to identify a set of potentially stale backups of the backups; performs a continuity chain analysis of each backup of the set of potentially stale backups to identify a set of stale backups; and deletes each backup of the set of stale backups.

System and method for backup storage garbage collection

A method for managing virtual machines includes obtaining a restoration request via a first pane of a graphical user interface generated by a graphical user interface manager; in response to obtaining the restoration request: predicting a restoration load for performing the restoration of a virtual machine of the virtual machines; performing a resource availability analysis of the production hosts using the restoration load to obtain a list of production hosts for performing a restoration of the virtual machine; making a first determination that the list specifies at least one production host of the production hosts; and, in response to the first determination: modifying a second pane of the graphical user interface based on the list to obtain a modified second pane; obtaining a user selection of a restoration option displayed in the modified second pane; and restoring the virtual machine using the restoration option and backup/restoration policies.

System and method for guided system restoration

An agent for managing virtual machines includes a persistent storage and a processor. The persistent storage stores backup/restoration policies. The processor identify an end of a backup generation session for the virtual machines; make a first determination that the backup generation was a batch type backup session and, in response to the first determination, performs a batch level continuity analysis of backups generated via the backup generation session to identify a set of backup failures of the backup generation session; performs an unscheduled batch backup generation session based on the identified set of backup failures; and remediates the backup/restoration policies using the identified set of backup failures to ensure backup continuity of all backups associated with each of the virtual machines.

System and method for fault tolerant backup generation in a virtual environment

A computing device for backing up virtual machine data includes a persistent storage and a backup initiator. The persistent storage stores virtual machine priority groupings and backup policies associated with the virtual machine priority groupings. The backup initiator obtains write rates of virtual machines; divides the virtual machines into priority groups based on the obtained write rates; updates the virtual machine priority groupings based on the priority groups; and performs a backup of the virtual machine data based on the backup policies using the updated virtual machine priority groupings.

System and method for adaptive backup workflows in dynamic priority environment

An agent for managing virtual machines includes a persistent storage and a processor. The persistent storage stores backup/restoration policies. The processor identifies a virtual machine of the virtual machines that is likely to fail and, in response to identifying the virtual machine, identifies backup data associated with the identified virtual machine; instantiates a clone of the identified virtual machine using the identified backup; exposes the clone while the identified virtual machine is exposed; and hides the virtual machine after the clone is exposed.
