Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to methods and systems for managing backup operations. The method may include receiving a request to perform a first backup operation for a first virtual machine (VM); making a first determination, using a vProxy preference map, that a first vProxy is assigned to the first VM based on a backup capability associated with the first vProxy; making a second determination that the first vProxy is not available to perform the first backup operation; making a third determination, based on the second determination and using a vProxy information database, that a second vProxy is available to perform the first backup operation based on the second vProxy being associated with the same backup capability as the first vProxy; and performing the first backup operation using the second vProxy.
