Abstract
A computer-implemented method for enhancing data protection is disclosed. The method starts with monitoring an operating status of a storage volume at a primary storage of a storage system, where the storage volume is allocated to one or more applications. The method continues with determining whether the operating status of the storage volume satisfies a predetermined condition and notifying a backup application to trigger a backup of the storage volume of the primary storage to a backup storage upon determining that the operating status of the storage volume satisfies the first predetermined condition.
