Described is a system for coordinating backup configurations for a data protection environment that implements multiple types of replication. The system may provide an efficient coordination tool that discovers the types of replication implemented by storage arrays within a data protection environment and then processes backup data according to the types of replication. For example, as part of a data protection policy, a backup facility may continuously create point-in-time copies (e.g. snapshots) of storage resources by leveraging consistency groups. Accordingly, the system may categorize such consistency groups based on the type of replication implemented by associated storage arrays. Based on the categorization, the system coordinate a backup process for all storage arrays associated with the backup facility without requiring specialized hardware.

Coordinating backup configurations for a data protection environment implementing multiple types of replication

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.

Host-aware discovery and backup configuration for storage assets within a data protection environment

A method and system for enabling data backups for virtual machines reliant on raw data mapping (RDM) disks to store their state and/or data. Traditional virtual machine backup methodologies pivot on the generation and storage of virtual machine snapshots as copies of a virtual machine disk file, which store the state and/or data of a virtual machine at various given points in time. However, these traditional virtual machine backup methodologies, at least at present, do not support the generation and storage of virtual machine snapshots for virtual machines that particularly access and consolidate information on RDM disks. Accordingly, the method and system disclosed herein facilitate the backup of state and/or data pertaining to virtual machines reliant on RDM disks.
