Method and system for implementing a backup in a cluster comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes, at least one of the nodes comprising a cluster resource manager (CRM), and at least one of the nodes comprising a policy engine (PE), the PE maintaining at least one dependency associated with at least a first resource executing on at least one of the nodes. For example, the method comprises, receiving by the CRM a backup request for the first resource from an administrator; responsive to the request, updating by the CRM the cluster configuration; communicating by the CRM to the PE a cluster status and the updated configuration; providing by the PE to the CRM an instruction sequence for carrying out the backup, the instruction sequence based on the dependency associated with the first resource; and responsive to the instruction sequence, carrying out by the CRM the backup of the first resource. |
