Abstract
A method for managing a data protection module includes: obtaining client metadata (CM) of a client environment (CE) data protection module, in which the CM includes at least first product configuration information; obtaining vendor metadata (VM) of a vendor environment (VE) data protection module, in which the VM includes at least second product configuration information; analyzing the CM and the VM to extract relevant data; making a first determination that a mismatch exists between the CM and the VM; making a second determination that the mismatch is a vendor-related mismatch; obtaining a first similarity score (SS) for a first resource and a second SS for a second resource; identifying, based on the first SS and the second SS, that the first SS is lower than the second SS; and sending a recommendation to a user of the VE data protection module to manage the vendor-related mismatch.
