A production host for hosting a multi-instanced application includes a persistent storage and a resource manager. The persistent storage stores a resource registration associated with a plurality of instances of the multi-instanced application and a resource backup registration associated with backups, of the multi-instance application, that are stored in backup storage. The resource manager obtains a backup generation request for the multi-instanced application; in response to obtaining the backup generation request: makes a first determination that the resource registration does not match the production host; in response to the first determination: forwards the backup generation request to an entity that matches the resource registration; performs a backup generation for the application to obtain continuity chain information associated with the multi-instanced application; and modifies a continuity chain associated with the multi-instanced application based on the continuity chain information to update the resource backup registration.
