Systems and methods for data management in a virtual computing environment

A system for performing one or more operations in a virtual computing environment, the system comprising:

• a management server in network communication with a remote server hosting at least one virtual machine, the management server and the host remote server comprising computer hardware, wherein the remote server is configured to host the at least one virtual machine with a hypervisor layer, the remote server having a service console associated therewith that administers the one or more virtual machines, the management server further comprising:
• a library comprising a plurality of dependencies, the plurality of dependencies comprising at least one binary file, and
• an injection module configured to identify select ones of the plurality of dependencies that are associated with performing a backup operation on at least one of virtual machine data and the hypervisor layer, the injection module being further configured to:
• initiate a communication session between the management server and the remote server,
• search the remote server to identify a first group of dependencies comprising one or more of the plurality of dependencies that are available on the remote server, and a second group of dependencies comprising one or more of the plurality of dependencies that are not available on the remote server;
• for the second group of dependencies that are not available on the remote server, inject the second group dependencies over a network connection to the service console of the remote server,
• echo a script file from the management server to the remote server prior to the injection of the second group of dependencies over the network connection to the remote server, the script file configured to bind to a port of the remote server to receive the injected second group of dependencies,
• issue a first command to the service console to execute on the remote server the first group of dependencies and the injected second group of dependencies to perform the backup operation, wherein said execution of the injected second group of dependencies is performed without installing an agent or a daemon on the remote server, and
• issue a second command to terminate the session;
• and
• retain the first group of dependencies at the remote server and remove from the remote server the injected second group of dependencies such that none of the injected second group of dependencies remains on the remote server following said termination of the session.
