A computing device for storing backups of virtual machines includes a persistent storage and a backup manager. The persistent storage stores backup policies. The backup manager identifies an end of a backup generation session for a virtual machine of the virtual machines and, in response to identifying the end of the backup generation session, identifies a continuity chain implicated by the backup generation session using the backup policies; performs a membership analysis of the identified continuity chain to identify a continuity state of the continuity chain; makes a first determination that the identified continuity chain is broken based on the identified continuity state; and, in response to the first determination, remediates the continuity chain.
