Abstract
An information management system according to certain aspects may be configured to generate a snapshot of data relating to a plurality of applications. Data generated by the plurality of applications may be stored in a logical volume in primary storage. The system may include a plurality of data agents including a database data agent associated with a database application that can be configured to back up one or more log files of a database log separately from data of the database application. The system may also include a snapshot manager configured to: in response to receiving notifications from the plurality of data agents that the associated applications are in consistent states, obtain a snapshot of the logical volume; generate mapping information between a particular application of the plurality of applications and a portion of the snapshot relating to the particular application; and truncate the database log of the database application.
