Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide various techniques for identifying a virtual application for backup in a cloud computing system. A cloud service layer of the cloud computing system is queried for a listing of virtual applications. In response to the querying, an attribute associated with the virtual application is received from the cloud service layer. The attribute associated with the virtual application is then transformed into an attribute associated with a hypervisor-managed virtual machine, and this transformation of the attribute exposes the hypervisor-managed virtual machine associated with the virtual application such that the hypervisor-managed virtual machine is identifiable for backup. As a result, the virtual application can be backed up based on the attribute of the hypervisor-managed virtual machine.

Abstract: Example embodiments provide various techniques for providing a backup functionality to a particular application. In one example, a plug-in module is selected for activation from a number of different plug-in modules. This selected plug-in module is adapted to interface with the particular application. It should be noted that each plug-in module is adapted to interface with a different application. The particular application is quiesced using the selected plug-in module. After the application has been quiesced, the backup functionality is initiated.
