Abstract:
A method for performing a backup operation includes initiating, via a client device, an archive log backup of a client storage array of the client device, generating the archive log backup on the client device, attaching a tag to the archive log backup that indicates that the archive log backup should be linked to a previously generated protection copy made using a snapshot-based backup operation, sending, from the client device to a backup storage system, the archive log backup, and linking the archive log backup to the previously generated protection copy based on the tag.
