Abstract

A system for providing backup services for limited-access user data includes persistent storage for storing a user data visualization enhanced user data backup and a manager. The manager identifies a backup generation event for limited-access user data based on a protection policy; in response to identifying the backup generation event, obtains fragmented user data from an application that gates access to the limited-access user data; obtains organizational metadata associated with the fragmented user data from the application; makes a determination that the fragmented user data is associated with a user data visualization; in response to making the determination, obtains user data visualization metadata associated with the fragmented user data from the application; and generates the user data enhanced user data backup using the organizational metadata, the user data visualization metadata, and the fragmented user data.
