As others have said: sudo is *designed* this way - you have to prove your
identity once and then you get some time in the session before you would
have to reinput a password.
If you don't appreciate why this is important, I would respectfully suggest
that you go and read up on computer security.
It is also worth reading up on restrictions on commands and forced commands:
you can create a group such that users can only perform one command. For
example, backupusers as a group and then configure sudo to *only* allow
the members of that group to use a backup command.
Hope this helps,
