Method and system for backing up cloud native and non-cloud native applications
A method for backing up data is performed by a backup manager. The method includes obtaining, by the backup manager, a first request from a host, wherein the first request is associated with an application on the host; in response to the first request: obtaining backup policies; obtaining a tag associated with the application; making a first determination that the tag indicates that the application is a cloud native application; and in response to the first determination: associating the application with a cloud native backup policy, wherein the cloud native backup policy is one of the backup policies; and initiating backup generation of the application based on the cloud native backup policy.
1. A method for backing up data, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a backup manager, a first request from a host, wherein the first request is associated with an application on the host;
in response to the first request:
obtaining backup policies;
obtaining a tag associated with the application;
making a first determination that the tag indicates that the application is a cloud native application; and
in response to the first determination:
associating the application with a cloud native backup policy, wherein the cloud native backup policy is one of the backup policies; and
initiating backup generation of the application based on the cloud native backup policy.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the backup policies further comprise:
a non-cloud native backup policy.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein associating the application with the cloud native backup policy comprising selecting the cloud native backup policy from a plurality of cloud native backup policies.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cloud native application is associated with cloud native storage.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
prior to obtaining the first request from the host:
obtaining a registration request associated with the application;
obtaining host metadata associated with the application;
generating the tag based on the host metadata; and
associating the tag with the application.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the host metadata specifies that the application is associated with cloud native storage.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining, by the backup manager, a second request from the host, wherein the second request is associated with a second application hosted by the host;
in response to the second request:
obtaining a second tag associated with the second application;
making a second determination that the second tag indicates the second application is a non-cloud native application; and
in response to the second determination:
associating the second application with a non-cloud native backup policy, wherein the non-cloud native backup policy is one of the backup policies; and
initiating backup generation of the second application based on the non-cloud native backup policy.
8. A system for backing up data, comprising:
a processor;
a backup manager, which when executed by the processor performs a method, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the backup manager, a first request from a host, wherein the first request is associated with an application on the host;
in response to the first request:
obtaining backup policies;
obtaining a tag associated with the application;
making a first determination that the tag indicates that the application is a cloud native application; and
in response to the first determination:
associating the application with a cloud native backup policy, wherein the cloud native backup policy is one of the backup policies; and
initiating backup generation of the application based on the cloud native backup policy.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the backup policies further comprise:
a non-cloud native backup policy.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein associating the application with the cloud native backup policy comprising selecting the cloud native backup policy from a plurality of cloud native backup policies.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the cloud native application is associated with cloud native storage.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprising:
prior to obtaining the first request from the host:
obtaining a registration request associated with the application;
obtaining host metadata associated with the application;
generating the tag based on the host metadata; and
associating the tag with the application.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the host metadata specifies that the application is associated with cloud native storage.
14. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:
obtaining, by the backup manager, a second request from the host, wherein the second request is associated with a second application hosted by the host;
in response to the second request:
obtaining a second tag associated with the second application;
making a second determination that the second tag indicates the second application is a non-cloud native application; and
in response to the second determination:
associating the second application with a non-cloud native backup policy, wherein the non-cloud native backup policy is one of the backup policies; and
initiating backup generation of the second application based on the non-cloud native backup policy.
15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for backing up data, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a backup manager, a first request from a host, wherein the first request is associated with an application on the host;
in response to the first request:
obtaining backup policies;
obtaining a tag associated with the application;
making a first determination that the tag indicates that the application is a cloud native application; and
in response to the first determination:
associating the application with a cloud native backup policy, wherein the cloud native backup policy is one of the backup policies; and
initiating backup generation of the application based on the cloud native backup policy.
16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the backup policies further comprise:
a non-cloud native backup policy.
17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein associating the application with the cloud native backup policy comprising selecting the cloud native backup policy from a plurality of cloud native backup policies.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the cloud native application is associated with cloud native storage.
19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprising:
prior to obtaining the first request from the host:
obtaining a registration request associated with the application;
obtaining host metadata associated with the application;
generating the tag based on the host metadata; and
associating the tag with the application.
20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the host metadata specifies that the application is associated with cloud native storage.
