Abstract
A protection orchestrator manages creation of temporally consistent protection points for a multi-span business application. Each multi-span protection point includes component protection points generated by nodes such as host computers, storage arrays, version control repositories and cloud storage gateways. Shim programs running on the nodes translate commands from the protection orchestrator into protocol commands for the node with which they are associated. A first command pauses changes to all components of the multi-span business application. A second command causes creation of the component protection points. A third command un-pauses the changes to the components.
