  • Patent number: 9158631
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing backup interfaces may include (1) identifying a backup policy configured to back up a source system according to a backup configuration, (2) identifying a request to display the backup policy within a graphical user interface, and in response to the request, (3) portraying the backup policy within the graphical user interface as a flow diagram, the flow diagram including (i) a first box representing the source system, the first box displaying an identifier of the source system, (ii) a second box representing a backup stage of the backup policy, the second box displaying an identifier of the backup stage, and (iii) a directed edge connecting the first box and the second box, the directed edge indicating a sequence beginning with the first box and progressing to the second box. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7634511
    Abstract: Various methods and systems for presenting a logical view of a database backup are disclosed. One method involves querying a database recovery manager for logical identifiers that correspond to physical backup pieces generated during a backup. The method uses the logical identifiers to display a backup view to a user. The backup view identifies logical database components that are available to be restored.
