Abstract
Exemplary embodiments provide various techniques for providing backup functionalities in a cloud computing system. In one exemplary method, a workflow that defines a set of actions associated with a backup functionality in a cloud computing system is accessed. A plug-in module that is configured to perform at least one of the set of actions associated with the backup functionality is identified from a number of plug-in modules. This identified plug-in module is then called to execute the action defined in the workflow.
