Off-site backup of workloads for multi-tenant cloud computing system

Abstract:

A system and method for backing up workloads for multiple tenants of a cloud computing system are disclosed. A method of backing up workloads for multiple tenants of a computing system, includes determining that a first tenant has elected to maintain a copy of backups in an off-site location and a second tenant has elected to not maintain a copy of backups in an off-site location, directing first backup data of the first tenant to a backup storage device within the computing system and to a backup storage device at the off-site location, and directing second backup data of the second tenant to the backup storage device within the computing system, and not to the backup storage device at the off-site location.
