Abstract
A method for detecting changes to a production location is provided. The method includes receiving a selection of a portion of the production location that is to be protected and identifying a larger portion of the production location that contains the selected portion of the production location. Upon identifying the larger portion, a routine is created for evaluating the identified larger portion of the production location for changes. That routine is performed in order to detect changes to the production location.
Claims41
A method for detecting changes to a production location, comprising:
- receiving a selection of a portion of the production location that is to be protected;
- identifying a larger portion of the production location that contains the selected portion of the production location;
- creating a routine for evaluating the identified larger portion of the production location for changes;
- and
- performing the created routine.
A method for detecting changes to a portion of a production location that is identified for protection, comprising:
- receiving a selection of a Namespace Element representative of the portion of the production location identified for protection;
- mapping the selected Namespace Element to a protectable object contained within the production location;
- creating an auto discovery group including an auto discovery group search parameter and the mapped protectable object;
- and
- monitoring the group for changes.
A method for providing a response to a query of a production location, comprising:
- creating a saved search of the production location, wherein the saved search includes a list of Namespace Elements;
- receiving a parameter for a query on the production location;
- identifying matches within the saved search for the parameters;
- and
- providing the identified matches as a response to the query.
A computer readable medium having computer-executable components for detecting a change on a production location, the components comprising:
- an auto discovery group, automatically generated in response to an indication to protect at least a portion of the production location;
- an auto discovery group table, including an identification of a protectable object contained within the production location;
- and
- an auto discovery routine, configured to identify the addition of a new protectable object to the production location.
