1. A computer-implemented method, for execution on a computer comprising a processor and memory storing program logic, comprising: receiving an input defining a desired state of a data protection environment; monitoring a current state of the data protection environment at a first time; determining whether the current state of the data protection environment at the first time deviates from the desired state of the data protection environment; generating a service plan automatically upon determining a deviation in the data protection environment according to the differences between the current state of the data protection environment at the first time and the desired state of the data protection environment, wherein the generated service plan, based on the differences, includes one or more commands automatically selected from a group of command sets consisting of a service plan command set, an application command set, a storage command set, a host command set, an entity command set, and a service command set; and executing the service plan according to the automatically selected commands included in the service plan to affect the current state of the data protection environment from the first time to a second time such that the differences between the current state of the data protection environment at the first time and the desired state of the data protection environment are remedied and the subsequent state of the data protection environment at the second time is equivalent to and does not deviate from the desired state of the data protection environment.
