Assessing protection for storage resources

1. A method comprising:

identifying a set of active data protection features for one or more storage resources of a storage system, the identifying including accessing at least one third-party backup provider that applies one or more active data protection features to the storage system;

selecting a corresponding classification from a plurality of classifications for the one or more storage resources based on an amount of active data protection features included in the set of active data protection features;

generating a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a data protection assessment for the storage system based on the identified set of active data protection features and the corresponding classification for the one or more storage resources; and

reporting the data protection assessment via the GUI.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising reporting a suggested next step for improving the data protection assessment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein accessing the one or more third-party backup providers is facilitated by one or more plugins implemented in the one or more third-party backup providers.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of active data protection features comprises a snapshot policy comprising a frequency at which snapshots are created, one or more triggering events for generating a snapshot, and a duration of time for retaining snapshots.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of active data protection features comprises a replication policy for data that is unable to be captured by a snapshot, the replication policy comprising a frequency at which the data is replicated and a target storage location for the replicated data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data protection assessment is further based on one or more of a recovery time objective (RTO) or a recovery point objective (RPO).

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising reporting a carbon footprint assessment based on a configuration of the one or more storage resources.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the carbon footprint assessment comprises a suggested reconfiguration for the one or more storage resources to reduce a carbon footprint of the storage system.

9. An apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, configured to:

identify a set of active data protection features for one or more storage resources, the identifying including accessing at least one third-party backup provider that applies one or more active data protection features to the one or more storage resources;

selecting a corresponding classification from a plurality of classifications for the one or more storage resources based on an amount of active data protection features included in the set of active data protection figures;

generate a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a data protection assessment for the storage system based on the identified set of active data protection features and the corresponding classification for the one or more storage resources; and

report the data protection assessment via the GUI.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:

report a suggested next step for improving the data protection assessment.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein accessing the one or more third-party backup providers is facilitated by one or more plugins implemented in the one or more third-party backup providers.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the set of active data protection features comprises a snapshot policy comprising a frequency at which snapshots are created, one or more triggering events for generating a snapshot, and a duration of time for retaining snapshots.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the set of active data protection features comprises a replication policy for data that is unable to be captured by a snapshot, the replication policy comprising a frequency at which the data is replicated and a target storage location for the replicated data.

14. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the data protection assessment is further based on one or more of a recovery time objective (RTO) or a recovery point objective (RPO).

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the processing device is further configured to:

report a carbon footprint assessment based on a configuration of the one or more storage resources.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the carbon footprint assessment comprises a suggested reconfiguration for the one or more storage resources to reduce a carbon footprint of the storage system.
