Abstract
Various systems and methods for configuring backup and replication operations. For example, a method involves a backup system receiving storage configuration information regarding a replication topology of a storage system. The backup system uses the storage configuration information to configure a backup operation. The backup operation is configured in accord with specifications included in backup information. Configuring the backup operation includes selecting a source volume and a target volume, using the storage configuration information. Once the backup operation is configured, the backup operation is initiated. Performing the backup operation involves creating a backup image on the selected source volume and replicating the backup image to the selected target volume.
