Original Abstract Submitted
selecting, authenticating, and installing individual components of agent software stacks is described. a system enables a selection of a component of an application agent software stack from a backup and restore application, from displayed components of multiple application agent software stacks. the system downloads the selected component of the application agent software stack from the backup and restore application. the system downloads a digital certificate from a vendor of the backup and restore application or the backup and restore application. the system uses a public key from the downloaded digital certificate to authenticate the selected component of the application agent software stack. the system installs an instance of the authenticated component of the application agent software stack in an application host, which executes the instance of the authenticated component to create a backup copy of data generated by an application executed by the application host.
