Abstract: A backup manager for managing backup services includes persistent storage and a backup analyzer. The persistent storage includes a backup data repository and protection policies. The backup analyzer identifies a new backup stored in backup storage; performs a backup compatibility analysis on the new backup to determine inter-backup compatibility of the identified new backup; updates the backup data repository based on the inter-backup compatibility to obtain an updated backup data repository; and modifies a backup schedule using the updated backup data repository to meet a requirement of a protection policy of the protection policies.

Abstract: A manager for providing services to clients includes persistent storage and an orchestration manager. The persistent storage includes protection policies. The orchestration manager obtains a backup from a client of the clients based on a protection policy of the protection policies; makes a determination that an application catalog associated with the client is not stored in backup storages; in response to making the determination: obtains the application catalog from the client; stores the application catalog in the backup storages; and stores the obtained backup in the backup storages.

Abstract: A backup storage for managing backups of clients includes persistent storage and a backup analyzer. The persistent storage includes the backups, protection policies, and an early deletion schedule. The backup analyzer obtains a request to analyze a protection policy of the protection policies; in response to obtaining the request: obtains backup data information associated with the protection policy; makes a determination, based on the backup data information and the protection policy, that a portion of the backups associated with the protection policies overprotect a client of the clients associated with the protection policy; and modifies the early deletion schedule based on the determination to obtain a modified early deletion schedule.

Abstract: A manager for managing generation of backups for clients includes persistent storage and a backup manager. The persistent storage stored protection policies associated with the clients and native backup functionality information associated with the clients. The backup manager programmed obtains a portion of the native backup functionality information from a client of the clients; obtains at least one protection policy of the protection policies that is associated with the client; makes a determination that the at least one protection policy and the portion of the native backup functionality information are unique; in response to the determination: generates modifier data based on: the portion of the native backup functionality information and the at least one protection policy; and generates a backup for the client using a modifier associated with the modifier data.
