A system and method for escalating a level of backup protection for a cluster of nodes are described. A backup software application may be configured to backup application data used by the cluster of nodes according to a first level of backup protection. In response to detecting a failure of a node in the cluster, the backup software application may be reconfigured to backup the application data used by the cluster of nodes according to an escalated level of backup protection. For example, reconfiguring the backup software application to backup the application data according to the escalated level of backup protection may cause the backup software application to increase a frequency at which backup operations for backing up the application data are performed.
