Abstract
Techniques are provided for backing up and restoring a file system or storage virtual machine located within a remote object store. A specification is parsed to identify resources associated with and including a primary resource hosted within a remote object store and to identify REST API endpoints of the resources. GET operations targeting the REST API endpoints of the resources are performed to retrieve the resources and properties of the resources. A link relationship specification is parsed to identify links corresponding to dependencies amongst the resources. A backup of the primary resource is generated to include the resources, the properties of the resources, and dependency information derived from the links. The backup can be used to restore the primary resource to the remote object store in manner that preserves the dependencies amongst the resources.
