Abstract
Methods and systems for managing data stored by a data processing system are disclosed. A management controller of the data processing system may identify an occurrence of a backup event for the data, the occurrence indicating that a portion of the data is to be backed up to a remote storage system. In response to the occurrence, the management controller may initiate a backup process to obtain a backup data package for the data processing system. The management controller may provide the backup data package to the remote storage system via an out-of-band communication channel in order to facilitate completion of the backup process. By doing so, the data may be placed in a restorable state, enabling the data processing system to continue providing computer-implemented services.
