Abstract
A system and method for providing data protection services and lifecycle management in a Platform as a Service (PaaS) platform having cloud-based applications and data, by discovering an application installed on the PaaS platform using mechanisms native to the PaaS platform, associating the application and an associated data service used by the application to identify data created by the application, and performing a backup/restore operation on the application and the identified data in accordance with a defined schedule. The native mechanisms may comprise application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by the PaaS platform, or metadata associated with containers used by the PaaS platform. The schedule may be defined by RTO and RPO requirements of a user.
