An infrastructure backup system includes an infrastructure manager system coupled to infrastructure devices via a network. A first infrastructure device includes a management controller database storing component dependency information identifying dependenc(ies) between a first component in the first infrastructure device and a second component in a second infrastructure device. A management controller device in the first infrastructure device receives a predicted failure for the first component from the infrastructure manager system and performs first backup operations to generate first component backup data based on the identification of the predicted failure for the first component. Based on the component dependency information that identifies the dependency between the first component and the second component, the management controller device also performs second backup operations to generate second component backup data. The management controller device then transmits the first and second component backup data via the network for storage on a backup storage system.
