Method and system for a data protection policy generator

A computer-implemented method for a data protection policy generator, the method comprising:

• generating a first task to be executed according to a first execution schedule, the first task causing a first data set residing on a second client computer to be stored as a second data set on a first destination server different from the second client computer, the second data set being a backup copy of the first data set;
• generating a second task to be executed according to a second execution schedule, the second task causing the second data set stored on the first destination server to be stored as a third data set on a second destination server different from the second client computer and the first destination server, the third data set being a clone copy of the second data set;
• causing a communication between the first task and the second task, the communication indicating a dependency of the clone copy on the backup copy;
• and
• enabling execution of the first task and the second task based on the first execution schedule and the second execution schedule such that the first task is executed according to the first execution schedule before execution of the second task according to the second execution schedule in response to the communication indicating the dependency of the clone copy on the backup copy.

A computer program product, comprising computer-readable program code to be executed by one or more processors when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer-readable program code including instructions to:

• generate a first task to be executed according to a first execution schedule, the first task causing a first data set residing on a second client computer to be stored as a second data set on a first destination server different from the second client computer, the second data set being a backup copy of the first data set;
• generate a second task to be executed according to a second execution schedule, the second task causing the second data set stored on the first destination server to be stored as a third data set on a second destination server different from the second client computer and the first destination server, the third data set being a clone copy of the second data set;
• cause a communication between the first task and the second task, the communication indicating a dependency of the clone copy on the backup copy;
• and
• enable execution of the first task and the second task based on the first execution schedule and the second execution schedule such that the first task is executed according to the first execution schedule before execution of the second task according to the second execution schedule in response to the communication indicating the dependency of the clone copy on the backup copy.
