Abstract: A method for executing complex data protection operations is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes generating multiple complex data protection operations, where each complex data protection operation includes multiple data protection functions pre-arranged in a specified order and on a specified schedule. The method further presents the multiple complex data protection operations to a user in the form of a menu. This menu includes multiple menu options, where each menu option is associated with one of the complex data protection operations. The method further enables the user to select a menu option, and executes the complex data protection operation associated with the menu option selected by the user. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide efficient and cost-effective systems and methods for backing up and recovering a virtual machine and application data therein. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to satisfy near-zero RPOs by providing more recovery points for backups in virtual machine environments, while also providing increased granularity for recovery (i.e., single virtual disk, single file, etc.) and maintaining central management capabilities and back up efficiencies offered by virtual machine-level backups.
