Methods and systems for protecting virtual machines is provided. One method includes identifying a plurality of volumes of a primary storage system for storing a plurality of data containers of a virtual machine ('VM'); generating a consistency group ('CG') snapshot of the plurality of volumes; associating a single instance storage clone of each data container of the VM from the CG snapshot to an active file system of the primary storage system; and generating metadata for representing a VM backup as a set having each of the single instance storage clone of each data container.

Methods and systems for protecting virtual machine data in networked storage systems

Methods and systems for storage services is provided. One method includes configuring by a processor, a database availability group (DAG) storing an active database copy at a first computing node and a passive database copy of the active database copy at a second computing node; initiating a backup operation for backing up the passive database copy from the second computing node; and interfacing with the first computing node by the second computing node for completing the backup operation. The first computing node identifies logs for the backup operation, backs up the identified logs and provides metadata associated with the backup of the identified logs to the second computing node. The second computing node updates metadata for the backup operation such that a backup copy of the passive database copy points to the second node with metadata received from the first computing node.
