1. A method comprising:
monitoring, by a data protection system that includes one or more processors, a consolidation policy of a database, wherein the consolidation policy includes consolidation data that identifies when data in the database is downscaled or discarded;
defining, by the one or more processors, a backup policy of the data protection system that is dependent on the consolidation policy of the database;
generating, by the one or more processors, backups of the data in the database in accordance with the backup policy by the data protection system, wherein the backup policy ensures that the backups are generated before the data in the database is downscaled or discarded such that the backups contain full copies of the data; and
updating, by the one or more processors, a catalog that identifies where the backups are stored.
