Abstract
A system and method for managing automatic data protection features, e.g., backup scheduling and data storage capabilities, e.g., policy provisioning of a storage system to enable information lifecycle management of data served by the system. A novel management module executes within a storage operating system of the storage system to manage the automatic scheduling of backup operations for data based on a minimal set of user configurations. The management module cooperates with a mirroring application to manage the generation of persistent consistency point image (PCPIs) used as backups (replicas) of the data. The management module distributes the data containers scheduled for PCPI generation among time slots within a defined backup time window. At the appropriate time slot, each PCPI the data container is illustratively backed up from the primary storage space to the secondary storage space.
