Abstract

A system detects a switch off event sent by a virtual machine management server, and identifies a virtual machine that is tagged by the switch off event and protected by a data protection server, and applies a deletion lock to the virtual machine. The system detects a deletion event sent by the virtual machine management server, and identifies a virtual machine that is tagged by the switch off event, protected by the data protection server, and tagged by the deletion event. The system creates a backup file for the virtual machine that is tagged by the deletion event. The system releases the deletion lock from protecting the virtual machine that is tagged by the deletion event. If the deletion event was accidental or malicious, the system uses the backup file to restore the virtual machine which was deleted by the deletion event after the release of the deletion lock.
