A multi-cluster configuration of a database management system in a virtual computing system includes a server that defines a first policy for a source database on a first cluster of a plurality of clusters. Each of the plurality of clusters is registered with the server and the first policy defines capture of snapshots and/or transactional logs from the source database on the first cluster. The server defines a second policy for the source database to replicate at least some of the snapshots and/or transactional logs from the first cluster to a second cluster of the plurality of clusters, captures a first snapshot and/or a first transactional log from the source database in accordance with the first policy, and replicates the first snapshot and/or the first transactional log to the second cluster in accordance with the second policy.
