Abstract—Backing up and restoring enterprise applications (EAs) are essential operations that are usually done manually by an administrator or semi-automatically by tools. Backing up an enterprise application (EA) consists of backing up all its components together with the environments and operating systems in a consistent way so that the application can be restored and function properly later. There are many challenges for backing up and restoring EAs. This paper proposes a framework for automating the process of backing up and restoring EAs deployed in a cloud environment to ensure the continuous running of these enterprise applications and prevent the loss of data in case failure of applications.

Index Terms—Backup, cloud computing, enterprise application, restore.
