Abstract
An agent for managing virtual machines includes a persistent storage and an application agent manager. The persistent storage stores backup policies. The application agent manager identifies a new virtual machine instance and, in response to identifying the new virtual machine instance, performs proxy agent based analysis of the new virtual machine instance to generate a data loss threat profile of the new virtual machine instance; remediates the new virtual machine instance by instantiating application agents for the new virtual machine instance based on the data loss threat profile and a portion of the backup policies associated with the new virtual machine instance; updates at least one of the backup policies based on the instantiated application agents; and performs an application backup session for the new virtual machine instance using the instantiated application agents.
