Abstract

Systems and methods for centralizing database manipulation for a plurality of heterogeneous databases are disclosed. A single or limited number of central servers can be used to manage a plurality of hosted client systems. With such a technique, database consistent backups can be performed without requiring altering of the central server, even when different database engines are used across the hosted client systems.
