Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing data protection of storage units may include 1) providing a user interface that enables a user to configure data protection policies for storage units, 2) selecting at least one storage unit for data protection, 3) enabling the user to configure, through the user interface, a data protection policy to schedule a data backup of the storage unit, and 4) enabling the user to configure, through the same user interface, the same data protection policy to schedule a data transfer operation from the storage unit to an additional storage unit. The data transfer operation may include at least one of a replication operation and a continuous data protection operation. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
