Abstract

A method for managing file based backups (FBBs) includes obtaining, by a backup agent, a FBB generation request for a file system at a point in time, in response to the FBB generation request: identifying a target backup storage system in which to store the FBB, identifying a target exposed application programming interface (API) associated with the target backup storage system, generating a FBB corresponding to the FBB generation request, wherein the FBB comprises a FBB metadata file, wherein the FBB is in a common data streaming format (CDSF), generating an API command based on the FBB and the target exposed API, and initiating storage of the FBB in the target backup storage system using the API command.
