Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Techniques for virtual machine full backup are described herein. According to one embodiment, in response to a request to back up a virtual machine (VM) of a client, a request of VM backup is sent out. A consistent state of the VM is then identified via a VM application program interface (VM API). Subsequently a request is sent to a storage system associated with the client to ask for VM disk image associated with the consistent state of the VM to a target backup storage system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method implemented on a backup application server, the method comprising: in response to a request to back up a virtual machine (VM) received at the backup application server, transmitting a first request to a VM monitor (VMM) of a host system hosting the VM via a VM application programming interface (VM API) over a network, the first request requesting the VMM to capture a VM snapshot representing a consistent state of the VM, wherein…
