Snapshot capability-aware discovery of tagged application resources is described. A backup server inputs an identifier of an application's resource from the application's host. If the backup server determines that the application resource identifier was input with a snapshot capable tag, and that the application's resource satisfies any of the snapshot policy rules, the backup server identifies the data protection policy for the satisfied snapshot policy rule. The backup server outputs a request to the application's host to use the identified data protection policy to create a snapshot of the application's resource that was input with any associated snapshot capable tag.

Snapshot capability-aware discovery of tagged application resources

Techniques described herein relate to a method for managing data protection feature compatibility. The method may include identifying a host data protection feature update event associated with a host; in response to identifying the host data protection feature update event, obtaining host data protection feature information from the host; updating a host data protection feature information repository using the host data protection feature information; updating data protection feature compatibility information using the host data protection feature information and data protection manager data protection feature information; and sending data protection feature compatibility information associated with the host to the host.

Method and system for managing data protection feature compatibility

Creating vendor-neutral data protection operations for vendors' application resources is described. Capabilities specified for data protection operations by a vendor of an application are input from a host of the application. Any capabilities specified for the data protection operations are used to create a vendor-neutral version of a data protection operation for a resource of the application. The vendor-neutral version of the data protection operation for the application resource is output to the host. A result of performing the vendor-neutral version of the data protection operation on the application resource is input from the host.

Creating vendor-neutral data protection operations for vendors' application resources

Vendor-neutral models of vendors' application resources are described. A host outputs capabilities of data protection operations which are specified by a vendor of an application that is installed on the host. The host inputs a vendor-neutral version of a data protection operation, based on any of the capabilities, for a resource of the application. The host uses a vendor-neutral model of the resource of the application to perform the vendor-neutral version of the data protection operation on the application resource.

Vendor-neutral models of vendors' application resources

Tagging application resources for snapshot capability-aware discovery is described. If an application's host determines that one of an application's resource satisfies any snapshot capability rule, the application's host associates the application resource with a snapshot capable tag. The application's host outputs an identifier of the application resource and any associated snapshot capable tag to a backup server. The application's host inputs a request from the backup server to create a snapshot of the application resource associated with the snapshot capable tag and creates the snapshot of the application resource associated with the snapshot capable tag.

Tagging application resources for snapshot capability-aware discovery

A system for providing data protection services for data generated by host components hosted by hosts includes persistent storage for storing data and a local data protection manager. The local data protection manager identifies a data protection trigger event associated with a host component hosted by the host, identifies an add-on library associated with the host component, identifies a data protection agent associated with the host component, and initiates performance of data protection services by the data protection agent using the add-on library.

Method and system for performing data protection management using an add-on application programming interface

A remote agent for providing data protection services includes persistent storage and a backup manager. The persistent storage stores lifecycle policies. The backup manager updates an asset catalog using an asset map associated with a virtual machine; generates a lifecycle policy of the lifecycle policies using the asset catalog; and generates a backup for the virtual machine using the lifecycle policy. The lifecycle policy prioritizes generating the backup for the virtual machine over generating a second backup for a second virtual machine.

System and method for management of largescale data backup

Server resource-aware discovery of client application resources is described. A server requests for clients to discover their application resources. If a utilization of a server resource does not exceed a server resource utilization threshold, the server fetches a copy of a client application resource from a client at a fetch rate. If the utilization of the server resource exceeds the server resource utilization threshold, the server fetches the copy of the client application resource from the client at a lesser fetch rate.

Backup server resource-aware discovery of client application resources

In general, embodiments of the invention relate to distributed monitoring of operations of production hosts and applications executing thereon. The distributed monitoring may enable more granular monitoring of production hosts and applications without increasing the overhead required to perform such monitoring, e.g., without substantially increasing the overhead on the production hosts or applications and/or without increasing the overhead of a management device that is managing the production hosts.

Method and system for automatic recovery of a system based on distributed health monitoring

A remote agent, for providing data protection services to virtual machines, includes persistent storage and a backup manager. The persistent storage is for storing a resource allocation calendar and lifecycle policies associated with the virtual machines. The backup manager obtains a virtual machine data package from a virtual machine of the virtual machines; identifies a computational load change point based on the lifecycle policies; predicts a magnitude of a computational load during a period of time demarcated by the computational load change point using, at least in part, the virtual machine data package; updates the resource allocation calendar to obtain an updated resource allocation calendar, the updating is based on: the identified computational load change point, and the magnitude of the computational load during the period of time; and generates a backup for the virtual machine using the updated resource allocation calendar.

System and method for scalable backup services

A remote agent for providing data protection services to virtual machines includes persistent storage for storing a backup data catalog and a backup manager. The backup manager instantiates a backup agent in a new virtual machine of the virtual machines; obtains a backup data package associated with the new virtual machine using the backup agent, the backup data package specifies assets of the new virtual machine; generates a backup data processing schema for the new virtual machine based on the backup data package; initiates a backup generation for the new virtual machine to store a backup for the new virtual machine in backup storage; processes, using the backup agent, metadata associated with the backup using backup data processing schema to obtain backup data processing schema compliant catalog data; and provides search services for the backup using the backup data processing schema compliant catalog data and the backup data catalog.
