Assets to associate to a data protection policy and configuration information for the policy is received. The configuration information includes a data protection job to perform for the assets and a schedule for the job. A shadow policy is generated including the configuration information from the data protection policy and a retry protocol. The data protection job is performed according to the schedule. A failure of the data protection job for an asset is detected. The asset is moved out of the data protection policy and into the shadow policy. The data protection job for the asset is retried according to the retry protocol in the shadow policy.

Mitigating and automating backup failure recoveries in data protection policies

A production host for hosting applications includes a persistent storage and a production agent. The persistent storage stores application data of the applications. The production agent obtains a backup analysis request for an application executing on the production host; in response to obtaining the backup analysis request: obtains an identity of the application; identifies backups in a backup storage, wherein the identified backups are associated with the identity of the application; performs a backup policy compliance analysis of the identified backups to generate a backup protection map for the application.

System and method for device independent backup in distributed system

Assets are associated to a data protection policy. Configuration information is received for the data protection policy. The configuration information includes a data protection job to perform for the assets and a schedule for the data protection job. A shadow policy is generated that includes the configuration information. The data protection policy is executed. Upon detecting a failure of the data protection job for an asset, the asset is moved from the data protection policy to the shadow policy. The shadow policy is executed. Execution of the shadow policy includes calculating a base time value, adding a random time value to the base time value to obtain a wait time, and after the wait time has elapsed, retrying the data protection job.
