Abstract
Snapshot capability-aware discovery of tagged application resources is described. A backup server inputs an identifier of an application's resource from the application's host. If the backup server determines that the application resource identifier was input with a snapshot capable tag, and that the application's resource satisfies any of the snapshot policy rules, the backup server identifies the data protection policy for the satisfied snapshot policy rule. The backup server outputs a request to the application's host to use the identified data protection policy to create a snapshot of the application's resource that was input with any associated snapshot capable tag.
