Abstract: Systems and methods for backing up and restoring virtual machines in a cluster environment. An instrumentation interface enables configuration data to be stored with save sets during backup and enables the configuration of the destination to be adjusted based on the stored configuration during a restore.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to managing concurrent recovery operations. Operation state may be stored in a repository managed by a service. The service may query the repository as requests come in, and take appropriate actions based on an identified state.

Abstract: Techniques for managing virtual machine backup are described herein. According to one embodiment, a virtual machine (VM) management console queries VM backup data stored in backup servers. The VM management console manages VMs running within data processing systems over a network. In response to the request, the VM management console retrieves backup operational data from backup servers, the backup operational data describing the VM backup data backed up from the data processing system. A VM backup report is generated having the backup operational data therein and VM information of VMs that are associated with the VM backup data described by the backup operational data. The VM backup report is presented in the VM management console to allow a user to select one or more of the VMs to be recovered from the backup servers.
