A method for managing a multi-instanced application on a production host (130, 200), comprising: obtaining (Step 400) a backup generation request for the multi-instanced application; in response to obtaining the backup generation request: obtaining (Step 402) a resource registration associated with the multi-instanced application, wherein the resource registration is associated with a plurality of instances (252, 254, 256, 258) of the multi-instanced application and specifies an entity to generate a backup of the multi-instanced application; making (Step 404) a first determination that the entity specified by the resource registration does not match the production host (130, 200); in response to the first determination: forwarding (Step 406) the backup generation request to an entity that matches the entity specified by the resource registration; performing (Step 408) a backup generation for the application to obtain continuity chain information associated with the multi-instanced application; and modifying (Step 410) a continuity chain associated with the multi-instanced application based on the continuity chain information to update a resource backup registration, wherein the resource backup registration is associated with backups, of the multi-instanced application, that are stored in backup storage and the continuity chain represents a relationship between the backups stored in the backup storage. obtaining (Step 400) a backup generation request for the multi-instanced application; in response to obtaining the backup generation request: obtaining (Step 402) a resource registration associated with the multi-instanced application, wherein the resource registration is associated with a plurality of instances (252, 254, 256, 258) of the multi-instanced application and specifies an entity to generate a backup of the multi-instanced application; making (Step 404) a first determination that the entity specified by the resource registration does not match the production host (130, 200); in response to the first determination: forwarding (Step 406) the backup generation request to an entity that matches the entity specified by the resource registration; performing (Step 408) a backup generation for the application to obtain continuity chain information associated with the multi-instanced application; and modifying (Step 410) a continuity chain associated with the multi-instanced application based on the continuity chain information to update a resource backup registration, wherein the resource backup registration is associated with backups, of the multi-instanced application, that are stored in backup storage and the continuity chain represents a relationship between the backups stored in the backup storage. obtaining (Step 402) a resource registration associated with the multi-instanced application, wherein the resource registration is associated with a plurality of instances (252, 254, 256, 258) of the multi-instanced application and specifies an entity to generate a backup of the multi-instanced application; making (Step 404) a first determination that the entity specified by the resource registration does not match the production host (130, 200); in response to the first determination: forwarding (Step 406) the backup generation request to an entity that matches the entity specified by the resource registration; performing (Step 408) a backup generation for the application to obtain continuity chain information associated with the multi-instanced application; and modifying (Step 410) a continuity chain associated with the multi-instanced application based on the continuity chain information to update a resource backup registration, wherein the resource backup registration is associated with backups, of the multi-instanced application, that are stored in backup storage and the continuity chain represents a relationship between the backups stored in the backup storage. forwarding (Step 406) the backup generation request to an entity that matches the entity specified by the resource registration; performing (Step 408) a backup generation for the application to obtain continuity chain information associated with the multi-instanced application; and modifying (Step 410) a continuity chain associated with the multi-instanced application based on the continuity chain information to update a resource backup registration, wherein the resource backup registration is associated with backups, of the multi-instanced application, that are stored in backup storage and the continuity chain represents a relationship between the backups stored in the backup storage.
