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.

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.

Display filters, including color filters, can be enabled in collaborative environments. When a user of an end user device desires to have a color filter applied, a windowing system or other source of graphics data can render a frame via a graphics driver. Once the frame is rendered, the graphics driver can enable a collaboration tool to capture the frame and share it via a collaboration solution. Separately from the rendering of the frame, the windowing system can leverage a color filter module to directly apply a color filter to the frame. Once the color filter is applied, the windowing system can cause the frame to be displayed locally. Because the graphics driver is not used to apply the color filter, the color filter will not be applied to any frame that the collaboration tool captures and shares.

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.

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.

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.

Described is a system for discovering and configuring backup settings for protectable storage assets of a storage array. The system may perform such discovery and configuration for a storage array by providing an efficient centralized management capability. In addition, the centralized management capability allows for the creation of backup policies that are host-aware. Accordingly, the system may account for the interrelationship between storage devices, storage groups, and host devices to prevent potential inconsistencies and conflicts that may arise when creating a centralized backup policy.

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.
