Systems and methods are disclosed for performing a backup or restoring one or more virtual disks of a virtual machine (VM) having a universally unique identifier (UUID). A backup API within a virtual machine manager (VMM) on a host can discover virtual disks that are configured for a particular VM. The VMM can use the backup API to communicate with a backup agent on a source storage to discover mappings of virtual disks to portions of storage, including mapping of raw virtual disks to logical units of storage on a storage device or appliance. Backup of the virtual disks can include backing up the VM configuration data and metadata and backing up the raw disk mapping files. Backups can be in accordance with one or more policies stored at the backup server and associated with the virtual machine UUID or associated with an account that the virtual machine, or its user, are associated with.

Backup and recovery of raw disks [RDM] in virtual environment using snapshot technology

A first configuration tag is received from a host, wherein each configuration tag comprises a configuration state and a configuration value pair for a given software. The first configuration tag is stored with a first timestamp. A second configuration tag is received from the host. The second configuration tag is stored with a second timestamp. A difference is determined between the first configuration tag and the second configuration tag.

Predictive and corrective configuration checker

A system and method is illustrated for utilizing an agent in intelligent Continuous Data Protection (CDP) snapshot based backups. The system and method utilizing the agent receiving a previous backup bookmark, obtaining a data change rate by calculating a number of bookmarks since the previous backup bookmark, comparing the data change rate with a threshold, initiating a backup when the data change rate exceeds the threshold, and labeling the backup with a bookmark.
