Abstract
One example method includes receiving a first message specifying that one or more changes have been made to infrastructure assets of a storage array. In response to receiving the first message, a change table stored in a database is updated to specify the one or more changes made to the infrastructure assets, the change table including a unique index offset value for each of the one or more changes. Based on the unique index offset value, it is determined if the one or more changes are to be communicated to a backup engine or client. When it is determined that the one or more change are to be communicated to the backup engine or client, a second message is sent to the backup engine or client that notifies the backup engine or client of the one or more changes made to the infrastructure assets of the storage array.
