A system for identifying and deleting records of hosts includes a local data manager. The local data manager identifies a discovery event associated with the host and a record type of record types, obtains, in response to identifying, all previously discovered records on the host associated with the record type from a host record repository, obtains discovered records associated with the record type and associated with the host, after obtaining all discovered records and previously discovered records, selects a previously discovered record of the previously discovered records, makes a determination that the previously discovered record does not match any discovered records of the discovered records and is not tagged with a soft delete tag or a hard delete tag, and in response to the determination, tags the previously discovered record with a soft delete tag, and notifies a data manager of modifications to the previously discovered records.

A method and system for live-mounting database backups. Specifically, disclosed method and system entail recovering database data&#x2014;in entirety or at any granular level&#x2014;without needing to provision storage resources for point-in-time database copies (i.e., backup database data), or without needing to wait for large amounts of data, representative of the point-in-time database copies, to traverse a network from backup storage to a target device. Substantively, through live-mounting, the physical point-in-time database data, as well as the associated structural metadata, may be retained on backup storage while a pointer-based snapshot, mapping to the physical point-in-time database data and structural metadata, may be generated thereon. Thereafter, a file system&#x2014;mapping to the pointer-based snapshot on the backup storage&#x2014;may be mounted on the target device, which exposes an interface through which the backup database data may be accessed and/or manipulated using a distributed file system protocol.

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

In an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for discovering backups of a database running on a database host, for use by a centralized backup system to validate backup compliance. A report agent executing on the database host can implement a discovery process configured to gather metadata for the backups of the database from a number of dynamic performance views of the database. The metadata is recorded in a control file of the database, and can include one or more commands used by the backup tool to create the backups. The report agent can categorize the metadata into one or more groups based on the backup commands, map backup files associated with each backup to that backup, create a backup report to describe the mapping information and additional information for each backup, and send the backup report to the centralized backup system.

Method for discovering database backups for a centralized backup system

Systems and methods for backing up a client or a client's data are disclosed. A client is configured with an agent that enables data of the client to be backed up to a device without a backup server. Indexing information is also stored with the backup.
