System and techniques for backing up scalable computing objects

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• memory coupled with the at least one processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, at a computing system from a data management system, first signaling that instructs the computing system to generate a set of respective snapshots at a first point in time of a plurality of components of a computing object within the computing system;
• generate the set of respective snapshots based at least in part on the first signaling;
• receive, by the computing system, second signaling that instructs the computing system to cause storage of the set of respective snapshots in a first storage entity accessible to the data management system in association with a set of respective identifiers for the set of respective snapshots;
• and
• cause, by the computing system, storage of the set of respective snapshots in the first storage entity based at least in part on the second signaling.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:

• receive, at a computing system from a data management system, first signaling that instructs the computing system to generate a set of respective snapshots at a first point in time of a plurality of components of a computing object within the computing system;
• generate the set of respective snapshots based at least in part on the first signaling;
• receive, by the computing system, second signaling that instructs the computing system to cause storage of the set of respective snapshots in a first storage entity accessible to the data management system in association with a set of respective identifiers for the set of respective snapshots;
• and
• cause, by the computing system, storage of the set of respective snapshots in the first storage entity based at least in part on the second signaling.
