Abstract
A backup and archival policy method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, includes harnessing of metrics of data classification including both operational data and backup data from an end-to-end stack from a backup Information Lifecycle Governance (ILM) viewpoint.
Claims19
A backup and archival policy method, the method comprising:
- harnessing parameters obtained from infrastructure configurations and performance of metrics of data classification including both operational data and backup data from an end-to-end stack from a backup Information Lifecycle Governance (ILM) viewpoint;
- performing correlation analytics to determine identification of a backup policy aligned with a criticality of the operational data and the backup data including identifying low value backup data having a value less than a predetermined low value threshold;
- creating a one-time archival of the operational data and the backup data including the low value backup data;
- and
- modifying the backup policy to align a future data protection with the criticality of the operational data and the backup data such that the low value backup data is removed from the modified backup policy.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recording a backup and archival policy program, the program causing a computer to perform:
- harnessing parameters obtained from infrastructure configurations and performance of metrics of data classification including both operational data and backup data from an end-to-end stack from a backup Information Lifecycle Governance (ILM) viewpoint;
- performing correlation analytics to determine identification of a backup policy aligned with a criticality of the operational data and the backup data including identifying low value backup data having a value less than a predetermined low value threshold;
- creating a one-time archival of the operational data and the backup data including the low value backup data;
- and
- modifying the backup policy to align a future data protection with the criticality of the operational data and the backup data such that the low value back data is removed from the modified backup policy.
A backup and archival policy system, said system comprising:
- a processor, and
- a memory, the memory storing instructions to cause the processor to:
- harness parameters obtained from infrastructure configurations and performance of metrics of data classification including both operational data and backup data from an end-to-end stack from a backup Information Lifecycle Governance (ILM) viewpoint;
- perform correlation analytics to determine identification of a backup policy aligned with a criticality of the operational data and the backup data including identifying low value backup data having a value less than a predetermined low value threshold;
- create a one-time archival of the operational data and the backup data;
- and
- modifying the backup policy to align a future data protection with the criticality of the operational data and the backup data such that the low value backup data is removed from the modified backup policy.
