Abstract
Parent backup application monitoring of children backup applications is described. Child backup information, including an execution of a child backup task by a child backup application, is communicated from the child backup application to a parent backup application. Second child backup information, including an execution of a second child backup task by a second child backup application, may be communicated from the second child backup application to the parent backup application. A parent backup task is executed by the parent backup application. At least one child backup application inherently lacks a functionality to execute the parent backup task as the parent backup application executes the parent backup task. A report is generated based on the child backup information.
