Abstract
A method for performing backups. The method includes sending, via a data manager, a quiesce request to a client storage array of a client device to put the client storage array in a quiesced state. The method also includes obtaining, via a primary backup storage system, a snapshot-based backup of a storage volume of the client storage array while the client storage array is in the quiesced state. Further, the method includes sending an unquiesce request to the client storage array in response to determining that the obtaining of the snapshot-based backup is complete. Moreover, the method includes sending the snapshot-based backup from the primary backup storage system to a secondary backup storage system. In addition, the method includes generating, using the secondary backup storage system, a protection copy based on the snapshot-based backup.
