Patent ID: 8712967

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for simultaneously configuring multiple independent backup scripts, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising: identifying a backup environment managed by a backup system; identifying a request from a user to modify each backup script within a plurality of backup scripts within the backup environment, wherein each backup script within the plurality of backup scripts specifies, independent of any other backup script, a backup operation to be performed by the backup system on a computing resource within the backup environment; in response to the request to modify each backup script within the plurality of backup scripts, providing a graphical user interface that allows the user to simultaneously modify at least one backup option for each backup script within the plurality of backup scripts; receiving a request, from the user via the graphical user interface, to simultaneously update at least one modified backup option for each backup script within the plurality of backup scripts; in response to the request to simultaneously update the modified backup option for each backup script within the plurality of backup scripts, updating, independent of any other backup option of the plurality of backup scripts, the modified backup option for each backup script within the plurality of backup scripts, wherein each backup script within the plurality of backup scripts remains independent of any other backup script within the plurality of backup scripts.
