Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for associating a storage system component, e.g. a server, client, machine, sub-client, or other storage system component, with one or more other storage system components into a group. Storage preferences are defined for the group which are automatically associated with each component in the group. The storage preferences define how storage operations are to be performed on the storage system components.
