1. A method comprising:

  • synchronizing a first application, which is represented in a first disk image that stores the first application'"'"'s primary data, to a standby version of the first application,wherein the first application executes on a first computing platform in communication with the first disk image, which is stored in a first data storage device,wherein the first disk image represents the first application and not a second application that also executes on the first computing platform, andwherein the standby version of the first application comprises a copy of the first disk image which is stored in a second storage device associated with a second computing platform that hosts the standby version of the first application;

    automatically discovering, by a data agent operating on a third computing platform that is distinct from the first computing platform and the second computing platform, operational characteristics of the first application, including identifying and locating the first disk image; and

    wherein the synchronizing comprises continuously replicating changed data blocks from the first disk image to the copy of the first disk image.
