Abstract:
1. In a computer system, a method for performing recovery operations, the method comprising: presenting a single user interface that displays a list of data objects that can be recovered; initiating a first recovery operation via the single user interface, the first recovery operation comprising selecting a first data object from the list of data objects and copying the first data object from a first backup storage location to a first recovery storage location that corresponds to a first computing device, wherein the single user interface communicates the selection of the first data object to a background process that interacts with a recovery application to recover the first data object; and initiating a second recovery operation via the single user interface without requiring a user to open a separate instance of the single user interface, the second recovery operation comprising selecting a second data object from the list of data objects and copying the second data object selected from the list of data objects from a second backup storage location to a second recovery storage location, at least a portion of the second recovery operation occurring concurrently with at least a portion of the first recovery operation, wherein the second recovery storage location corresponds to a second computing device, wherein the single user interface communicates the selection of the second data object to the background process that interacts with the recovery application to recover the second data object concurrently with the first data object.
