Method and system for using high availability attributes to define data protection plans

摘要

A data protection agent or server running on a computing device receives a cluster configuration of a high availability cluster. The data protection agent or server identifies highly available data of an application running on the high availability cluster based on the clustering. The data protection agent or server then implements a data protection policy that backs up the highly available data.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a data protection agent or server running on a computing device, a cluster configuration of a high availability cluster, the cluster configuration indicating highly available data, specified by a first administrator, of a multi-tiered application running on the high availability cluster, the high availability cluster comprising a plurality of clusters corresponding to tiers of the multi-tiered application; parsing, by the data protection agent or server, the cluster configuration to identify the highly available data residing on the plurality of clusters corresponding to the tiers of the multi-tiered application; providing information indicating the identified highly available data to back up to a second administrator having no information of the highly available data to be backed up; and implementing a data protection policy to back up the highly available data based on the information.
