Abstract
Properties of one or more databases of nodes of a database system are automatically discovered. The automatically discovered properties for at least one of the databases include a database architecture and a corresponding failover role for each of at least some of the nodes. Based at least in part on the discovered properties, a corresponding one of the nodes as a corresponding backup source node is selected for each of the one or more databases. One or more database backups are allowed to be performed via the one or more selected backup source nodes.
