Abstract
Agent lifecycle management for backup and restore applications is described. A system enables selection of application hosts, each of which meets installation requirements for installing instances of application agents from a backup and restore application, then downloads, in parallel, the instances of the application agent to the corresponding selected application hosts. The system installs, in parallel, the instances of the application agent in the corresponding selected application hosts, then registers, in parallel, the instances of the application agent with the backup and restore application. The system subsequently initiates sessions which download and install, in parallel, an update in instances of the application agent in in corresponding application hosts. The system unregisters at least one of the instances of the application agent, in at least one application host, from the backup and restore application. The system decommissions the at least one application host from protection by the backup and restore application.
