Abstract
A method for generating a database of data resident on a primary storage device of a computer system for use in a backup system associated with the computer system includes generating a database having information associated with data resident on the primary storage device of the computer system. A graphical user interface is then generated to display the information in the database. The displayed information is preferably configured to be selected by a user to define a backup set of data that is available to be copied from the primary storage device of the computer system to a secondary storage device connected to the computer system. The method may further include the operations of setting a flag to designate selected portions of the database, and writing the selected portions of the database to the primary storage device of the computer system. A computer readable media for generating a database of data resident on a primary storage device of a computer system for use in a backup system associated with the computer system also is described.
