Abstract

Managing data backup during workload migration is provided. A set of workloads for migration from a source environment to a target environment is identified in response to receiving a request to migrate the set of workloads. The migration of the set of workloads is initiated from the source environment to the target environment along with migration of backup data corresponding to the set of workloads. A backup configuration transformation from a backup configuration corresponding to the source environment to a set of backup configurations corresponding to the target environment is determined based on semantic matching between characteristics of the backup configuration corresponding to the source environment and characteristics of the set of backup configurations corresponding to the target environment, a state of the source environment, backup configuration transformation actions, and a goal state of the target environment.
