Abstract
A smart assistant scans or directs the scanning of a network and clients connected to the network to ensure that the clients will be properly backed up. When the smart assistant detects a change in the network, a client, or both, the smart assistant seeks the approval of a backup administrator to automatically update backup configuration information based on the detected change. If the backup administrator approves the approval request, the smart assistant automatically updates the backup configuration information. If the backup administrator denies the approval request, the smart assistant does not update the backup configuration information.
