Abstract
A backup and recovery architecture for applications compatible with the Microsoft Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) includes a backup client module that includes an orchestration engine, an application manager, a common requestor, and a save transports component. The client module interacts with the VSS on the client in the generation of a shadow copy. Data is backed up from the shadow copy to a backup storage server. In various specific embodiments, the application manager includes functions that are application-specific and the orchestration engine includes functions that are not application-specific. A single consolidated log may be generated by the backup client module for a backup or recover operation.
