Abstract
Various embodiments of a system and method for updating backup configuration information used by backup software to perform backup operations for a storage cluster are described. Backup configuration information specifying a configuration of the storage cluster may be stored. Subsequently, a particular change to the configuration of the storage cluster may be automatically detected. In response to detecting the particular change, the backup configuration information may be automatically updated to reflect the particular change to the configuration of the storage cluster. Subsequent backup operations may then be performed using the updated backup configuration information.
