Abstract
A device for merging backup policies is configured to determine, if a first backup policy comprising a first set of rules, and a second backup policy comprising a second set of rules, are assigned to a backup object. The device is further configured to, when the first backup policy and the second backup policy are assigned to the backup object, generate a merged backup policy comprising a merged set of rules, based on the first backup policy and the second backup policy. A resource consumption of a backup created according to the merged backup policy is below a predefined threshold.

A device comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the device to:
- determine that a first backup policy and a second backup policy are assigned to a backup object, wherein the first backup policy comprises a first set of rules comprising a first backup frequency rule, and wherein the second backup policy comprises a second set of rules comprising a second backup frequency rule;
- generate a merged backup policy comprising a merged set of rules based on the first backup policy and the second backup policy, wherein the merged backup policy is configured to create a first backup using a first resource consumption that is below a predefined threshold;
- and
- create, based on the merged backup policy, the first backup of the backup object at a first frequency and at a second frequency, wherein the first frequency is based on the first backup frequency rule, and wherein the second frequency is based on the second backup frequency rule.
A method comprising:
- determining that a first backup policy and a second backup policy are assigned to a backup object, wherein the first backup policy comprises a first set of rules comprising a first backup frequency rule, and wherein the second backup policy comprises a second set of rules comprising a second backup frequency rule;
- generating a merged backup policy comprising a merged set of rules based on the first backup policy and the second backup policy, wherein the merged backup policy is configured to create a first backup using a first resource consumption that is below a predefined threshold;
- and
- creating, based on the merged backup policy, the first backup of the backup object at a first frequency and at a second frequency, wherein the first frequency is based on the first backup frequency rule, and wherein the second frequency is based on the second backup frequency rule.
A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-executable instructions when executed by a processor of a device, cause the device to:
- determine that a first backup policy and a second backup policy are assigned to a backup object, wherein the first backup policy comprises a first set of rules comprising a first backup frequency rule, and the second backup policy comprises a second set of rules comprising a second backup frequency rule;
- and
- generate a merged backup policy comprising a merged set of rules based on the first backup policy and the second backup policy, wherein the merged backup policy is configured to create a first backup using a first resource consumption that is below a predefined threshold;
- and
- create, based on the merged backup policy, the first backup of the backup object at a first frequency and at a second frequency, wherein the first frequency is based on the first backup frequency rule, and wherein the second frequency is based on the second backup frequency rule.
