Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media with executable instructions stored thereon for backup storage management are provided. A utilization threshold can be defined for each of a number of virtual tape Libraries (VTLs). A number of slipped backup jobs can be identified, wherein each of the number of slipped backup jobs is associated with one of the number of VTLs. A number of storage statistics for each of the number of VTLs can be collected and storage can be allocated for each of the number of slipped backup jobs via a VTL backup storage manager that analyzes the utilization threshold, the number of slipped backup jobs, and the number of storage statistics for each of the number of VTLs.
Claims15
A method for backup storage management, comprising:
- defining a utilization threshold for each of a number of virtual tape libraries (VTLs);
- identifying a number of slipped backup jobs, wherein each of the number of slipped backup jobs is associated with one of the number of VTLs;
- collecting a number of storage statistics for each of the number of VTLs;
- and
- allocating storage for each of the number of slipped backup jobs via a VTL backup storage manager that analyzes the utilization threshold, the number of slipped backup jobs, and the number of storage statistics for each of the number of VTLs.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- initiate a backup of data in a datacenter, wherein the backup includes a number of backup jobs;
- define a utilization threshold for each of a number of virtual tape libraries (VTLs) in the datacenter;
- identify a number of slipped backup jobs of the backup jobs, wherein each of the number of slipped backup jobs is associated with one of the number of VTLs;
- allocate storage for each of the number of slipped backup jobs via a VTL backup storage manager that analyzes the utilization threshold, the number of slipped backup jobs, and the number of storage statistics for each of the number of VTLs;
- and
- reschedule a particular one of the number of slipped backup jobs.
A system for backup storage management, comprising:
- a processor coupled to a memory storing executable instructions, the processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- initiate a backup of data in a datacenter, wherein the backup includes a number of backup jobs;
- define a utilization threshold for each of a number of virtual tape libraries (VTLs) in the datacenter;
- identify a number of slipped backup jobs of the backup jobs, wherein each of the number of slipped backup jobs is associated with one of the number of VTLs;
- collect a number of storage statistics for each of the number of VTLs;
- allocate storage for each of the number of slipped backup jobs via a VTL backup storage manager that analyzes the utilization threshold, the number of slipped backup jobs, and the number of storage statistics for each of the number of VTLs;
- and
- reschedule a particular one of the number of slipped backup jobs when the VTL corresponding to the particular one of the each of the number of slipped backup jobs exceeds the defined utilization threshold.
