  • Patent number: 11593302
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for logically remediating infrastructure resource components are disclosed. According to one example, the method includes capturing metadata specifying both a data protection policy applied to an enterprise application supported by a host computing system and a location of backup file data associated with the enterprise application and transferring the enterprise application and the metadata from the host computing system to a target computing system. The method further includes utilizing the metadata to reconstruct the data protection policy for the transferred enterprise application on the target computing system, wherein the metadata specifies a data protection solution for each of a plurality of resource components supporting the transferred enterprise application on the target computing system.
    Type: Grant
