Abstract: A method for performing a data protection operation. The method may include receiving a virtual node that identifies a plurality of physical nodes. The virtual node may be associated with a clustered database. The method may include receiving a request to perform a data protection operation on the clustered database. The method may also include using information from the virtual node to identify a first physical node in the plurality of physical nodes and attempting to perform the data protection operation on the clustered database through the first physical node. A computer-readable medium is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for creating an application cluster virtual node. The method may comprise identifying a plurality of nodes associated with an application cluster. The method may also comprise creating a virtual node that is associated with each node in the plurality of nodes. The method may comprise providing a data protection server with access to at least one node in the plurality of nodes. The access may be provided through the virtual node. A computer-readable medium is also disclosed.
