We analyze the supersymmetry conditions for a class of SU(2) structurebackgrounds of Type IIB supergravity, corresponding to a specific ansatz forthe supersymmetry parameters. These backgrounds are relevant for the AdS/CFTcorrespondence since they are suitable to describe mass deformations orbeta-deformations of four-dimensional superconformal gauge theories. UsingGeneralized Complex Geometry we show that these geometries are characterized bya closed nowhere-vanishing vector field and a modified fundamental form whichis also closed. The vector field encodes the information about thesuperpotential and the type of deformation - mass or beta respectively. We alsoshow that the Pilch-Warner solution dual to a mass-deformation of N =4 SuperYang-Mills and the Lunin-Maldacena beta-deformation of the same background fallin our class of solutions.Comment: LaTex, 29 page
