Abstract
Automatically configuring backup client systems and backup server systems in a backup environment includes the following steps: determining if a new backup client system is available in the backup environment; in case of an available new backup client system a backup configuration module performs the sub-steps of: determining data types the new backup client system has to backup; determining corresponding backup policies for the determined data types based on a backup policy table mapping data types with backup policies; selecting a backup server system for the determined data types based on a backup server table including connection details of available backup server systems; configuring the determined backup policies for the data types of the new backup client system on the selected backup server systems; and updating the backup server table with an identifier of the new backup client system and an identifier of the backup policy.
