1. A method comprising:
- installing a base operating system on a first device;
connecting to a configuration data store having configuration data for a plurality of devices, each of said plurality of devices having a role;
determining a role for said first device;
retrieving a first configuration set for said first device, said first configuration set matching said role and defining a configuration for a plurality of services operable on said first device; and
configuring said first device using said first configuration set.

Abstract
A backup system stores configuration data for several interdependent systems in a single backup store. As the systems are being configured and when changes are made to the systems, the backup store is updated with the change. The systems may be configured with each system having a designated role. During a restore operation, an otherwise unallocated system may assume a particular role and use the configuration logic defined for the role that may be taken from the backup store. The system may perform the restore in conjunction with the other systems and the interdependencies with the systems.

13. A system comprising:
-
a connection to a plurality of devices, each of said plurality of devices having a set of services, at least a first one of said devices having a first service that is dependent on a second service provided by a second device; a central configuration store comprising configuration data for each of said plurality of devices; a setup sequence operable on each of said plurality of devices and adapted to; install a base operating system on a device; connect to said configuration data store; determine a role for said device; retrieve a first configuration set for said device, said first configuration set matching said role and defining a configuration for a plurality of services operable on said device; and configure said device using said first configuration set. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
making a configuration change to a first service on a first device, said first service being dependent on a second service provided on a second device; storing said configuration change in a central configuration data store; storing a dependency for said first service and said second service in said central configuration data store having a list of previous configuration changes; selecting one of said previous configuration changes; receiving a configuration set from said central configuration data store corresponding to said one of said previous configuration changes and said first device; and configuring said first device using said configuration set. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
