Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: analyzing a dataset associated with a service provided by the data protection service provider in order to determine a policy for when and how to replicate the respective components of the dataset corresponding to the service from a source site to a target site, such that the target site may perform the service with a minimum cost.

Optimized disaster-recovery-as-a-service system

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: enabling a client of a source site protected by a disaster recovery service, to select one or more value-added service to be performed by a data protection service provider in addition to the disaster recovery service. Respective dataset associated with a service is identified and analyzed to minimize the amount of dataset to replicate from the source site to a target site run by the data protection service provider, and a policy dictating when and how to replicate which dataset is configured. Upon being triggered, the data protection service provider performs the service by use of the dataset at the target site, the dataset either replicated according to the policy from the source site or being reconstructed from the transferred dataset when necessary.
