Zusammenfassung:A system for providing backup services for limited-access user data includes persistent storage and a manager. The manager identifies a backup generation event for the limited-access user data based on a protection policy; in response to identifying the backup generation event, performs, using an application that gates access to the limited-access user data, a change analysis of the limited-access user data to identify a portion of the limited-access user data that is potentially in a backed-up state; obtains, using the application, metadata associated with the portion indicative of whether sub-portions of the portion are in the backed-up state; identify, using the metadata, at least one of the sub-portions that is not in the backed-up state; and generates the user data backup using the at least one of the sub-portions.
