8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the program code is further executable in order to cause the computing device to:
receive an instruction to access the backup catalog;
in response to the instruction, determine a second plurality of backup jobs based on the backup catalog, the second plurality of backup jobs not including the first backup job; and
present the second plurality of backup jobs.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the program code is further executable in order to cause the computing device to:
determine whether the first instruction comprises an instruction to delete one or more physical backup files associated with the first backup job; and
if it is determined that the first instruction comprises an instruction to delete one or more physical backup files associated with the first backup job, delete the one or more physical backup files.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 9 , wherein the program code is further executable in order to cause the computing device to:
receive a second instruction to delete two or more of the plurality of backup jobs; and
in response to the second instruction:
identify records of the backup catalog which are not associated with the two or more backup jobs; and
create a second backup catalog including the identified records.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the program code is further executable in order to cause the computing device to:
determine whether the second instruction comprises an instruction to delete one or more physical backup files associated with the second backup job and one or more physical backup files associated with the third backup job; and
if it is determined that the second instruction comprises an instruction to delete one or more physical backup files associated with the second backup job and the one or more physical backup files associated with the third backup job, delete the one or more physical backup files associated with the second backup job and the one or more physical backup files associated with the third backup job.
12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the program code is further executable in order to cause the computing device to:
