Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for backing up database storage. A protection policy for database storage is activated at a remote host, wherein the database storage is not physically accessible by the computing device, such that the out-of-band storage is not in communication with the remote host through the computing device. A backup request is transmitted to the remote host comprising data indicative of a volume on the database storage to back up according to the protection policy. A response to the backup request is received comprising staging disk requirements including a required size for a staging disk. A staging disk is determined based on the response. The staging disk is presented to the remote host so that the remote host can perform a backup of the volume to the staging disk using a database backup tool provided by a vendor of the database storage.
