  • Controlling access to backup copies from an application host
    Patent number: 12783708
    Abstract: A data protection agent is installed on an application host having an asset, desktop application, and agent. The agent backs up the asset to and restores the asset from a data protection appliance. Access by a user to the host is granted by an application server administrator. The agent is registered with the appliance. The appliance is managed by a backup administrator that defines access control policies to backup copies of the asset. Upon the user logging into and being validated at the host, the agent receives a request from the desktop application indicating that the user wishes to access a backup copy. A determination is made as to whether the user is allowed access. If the user is not allowed access according to the access control policies, the request is blocked despite the user having been validated at the host.
