Abstract
An information management system according certain aspects may be configured to generate a snapshot of data relating to a plurality of applications. The system may include first and second data agents associated with first and second applications, respectively. The system may also include a snapshot manager configured to: in response to receiving notifications from the first and second data agents that the first and second applications are in consistent states: obtain a snapshot of the logical volume including data generated by the first and second applications; generate mapping information between the first application and a portion of the snapshot relating to the first application based at least in part on metadata obtained by the first data agent; and generate mapping information between the second application and a portion of the snapshot relating to the second application based at least in part on metadata obtained by the second data agent.
