Abstract: In general, the technology relates to a method for managing databases, the method includes receiving, by a data manager, an asset notification comprising a first database identifier (DID) for a database and a second DID for the database, and performing, using the asset notification, an asset records update operation, wherein the data manager is configured to perform data protection on the database.

Abstract: In general, embodiments relate to a method for backing up databases, the method includes receiving a backup request, wherein the backup request specifies a role of primary and an asset group identifier for an asset group, identifying, based on the backup request, a database in the asset group, and issuing the backup request for the database.

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 method for providing data protection services to service devices that provide computer implemented services for clients and host resources used to provide the computer implemented services to the clients includes obtaining a resource discovery request for a service device of the service devices. The method further includes, in response to obtaining the resource discovery request: identifying a resource of a portion of the resources hosted by the service device; obtaining: a system identifier for the resource, and a natural identifier for the resource; making a determination that the natural identifier matches a second natural identifier associated with a known resource of the known resources; and in response to the determination: updating a record associated with the known resource based on one or more conditions of the resource.

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.
