Abstract
One or more embodiments of the invention improves upon the traditional method of performing a backup, by having a data protection manager or similar component of the system, determine, when a backup is requested, which backup agent should initially perform the backup. That backup agent may then determine among the other applicable backup agents, which backup types are needed and the order each backup agent performs the backup, when more than one backup agent is appropriate. This will allow for a more efficient backup, while avoiding collisions between two or more backup agents trying to simultaneously back up the same data.
