Abstract
In one embodiment, and under control of resources belonging to a controller domain of a data center, a farm server for which a backup operation is to be performed is identified. Interfaces of backup services belonging to the controller domain are then virtually associated with the first farm network. Thereafter, the farm server and backup services are registered in a backup domain of the data center, the backup domain being associated with backup storage. Via the backup services that have been associated with the first farm network, and during execution of the backup operation by the farm server, movement of backup data from the first farm network to the backup storage is facilitated by the method. After completing the backup operation, the farm server and backup services are un-registered from the backup domain, and the interfaces of the backup services are de-associated from the first farm network.
