    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and computing devices that receive data from a primary storage node. The data is stored in a primary volume within a primary composite aggregate hosted by the primary storage node. A determination is made when the data is tagged to indicate that the data is stored in the primary volume on a remote data storage device of the primary composite aggregate. The data is stored on another remote data storage device without storing the data in a local data storage device, when the determining indicates that the data is tagged to indicate that the data is stored in the primary volume on a remote data storage device of the primary composite aggregate. Accordingly, this technology allows data placement to remain consistent across primary and secondary volumes and facilitates efficient operation of secondary storage nodes by eliminating two-phase writes for data stored on cloud storage devices.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for orchestrating operations between a storage environment and a computing environment hosting virtual machines. A virtual machine proxy, associated with a computing environment hosting a virtual machine, is accessed by an orchestrator to identify the virtual machine and properties of the virtual machine. A storage proxy, associated with a storage environment comprising a volume within which snapshots of the virtual machine are to be stored, is accessed by the orchestrator to initialize a backup procedure. The orchestrator utilizes the virtual machine proxy to create a snapshot of the virtual machine. The orchestrator utilizes the storage proxy to back up the snapshot to the volume using the backup procedure.
