Abstract: Enabling scripting language commands to backup/restore databases is described. A system outputs, to a user interface, a backup/restore option for a database. The system generates scripting language commands based on a selection of the backup/restore option received from the user interface. The system outputs, to the user interface, the scripting language commands based on the selection of the backup/restore option. The system enables a scripting language system to execute the scripting language commands based on the selection of the backup/restore option.

Abstract: A distributed systems backup configuration wizard is described. A computer executes a wizard. The wizard receives an identifier of a distributed setup for backup configuration via a user interface. The wizard identifies each system which comprises the distributed setup. The wizard retrieves information associated with each system for configuring backup of the distributed setup. The wizard outputs configuration options based on retrieved information via the user interface. The wizard configures backup of the distributed setup based on the retrieved information and user selected configuration options received via the user interface.

Abstract: Bypassing backup operations for specified database types is described. A system determines whether a database, of multiple databases associated with a database system, corresponds to a database type specified in a configuration file, in response to receiving a backup operation request. The system executes an incremental backup operation on changes made to the database since a selected time, for the backup operation request, if the database does not correspond to the database type specified in the configuration file. The system bypasses executing any backup operation on the database for the backup operation request if the database corresponds to the database type specified in the configuration file.
