Abstract
Methods and systems for storage services is provided. One method includes configuring by a processor, a database availability group (DAG) storing an active database copy at a first computing node and a passive database copy of the active database copy at a second computing node; initiating a backup operation for backing up the passive database copy from the second computing node; and interfacing with the first computing node by the second computing node for completing the backup operation. The first computing node identifies logs for the backup operation, backs up the identified logs and provides metadata associated with the backup of the identified logs to the second computing node. The second computing node updates metadata for the backup operation such that a backup copy of the passive database copy points to the second node with metadata received from the first computing node.
