Abstract
A method for simultaneously configuring multiple independent backups. The method may include (1) identifying a backup environment managed by a backup system, (2) identifying a request from a user to configure a plurality of backups within the backup environment, wherein each backup within the plurality of backups specifies, independent of any other backup, a backup operation to be performed by the backup system on a computing resource within the backup environment, (3) providing a graphical user interface that allows the user to simultaneously configure each backup within the plurality of backups, (4) receiving a request, from the user via the graphical user interface, to simultaneously configure each backup within the plurality of backups, and (5) in response to the request to simultaneously configure each backup within the plurality of backups, independently configuring each backup within the plurality of backups so as to maintain the independence of each backup.
