EXPLOITING OBJECT TAGS TO PRODUCE A WORK ORDER ACROSS BACKUP ENGINES FOR A BACKUP JOB

摘要

Provided are techniques for exploiting object tags in order to produce a work order across several backup engines for a backup job. A selection of tags for an object is received. A work order for the object is created using the tags. The work order is stored with a virtual server that stores the object, wherein a data mover of a backup engine retrieves the work order from the virtual server to back up the object.
