Methods and systems for automated backups and recovery on multi-os platforms using controller-based snapshots

Abstract

A method for backing up and restoring data across multiple operating systems executed by a computing product executing computer implemented instructions, wherein each operating system includes a daemon. Embodiments may include receiving a backup initiation trigger from an initial daemon on an initial operating system. This method may include relaying the backup initiation trigger to other daemons on other operating systems. This method may also include receiving snapshot requests from the other daemons, wherein each of the snapshot requests are requests for snapshots of storage associated with an operating system of one of the other operating systems. This method may further include sending received snapshot requests from the other daemons to a storage controller.
