Abstract
Disclosed is a method, apparatus, and system for dynamically changing a backup policy, the operations comprising: automatically detecting a change in a backup source system; automatically activating a new backup policy, wherein the new backup policy is determined based on the change in the backup source system and an old backup policy; and performing a backup session based on the new backup policy.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method for dynamically changing a backup policy, the method comprising:
- automatically detecting a change in a backup source system;
- automatically determining whether an old backup policy in combination with the change in the backup source system would lead to a failure in fulfillment of a backup service level objective;
- in response to determining that the old backup policy in combination with the change in the change in the backup source system would lead to a failure in fulfillment of the backup service level objective, automatically determining a new backup policy based on the change in the backup source system, the old backup policy, and the backup service level objective, wherein the new backup policy in combination with the change in the backup source system leads to a fulfillment of the backup service level objective;
- automatically activating the new backup policy;
- and
- performing a backup session based on the new backup policy.
(canceled)
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for dynamically changing a backup policy, the operations comprising:
- automatically detecting a change in a backup source system;
- automatically determining whether an old backup policy in combination with the change in the backup source system would lead to a failure in fulfillment of a backup service level objective;
- in response to determining that the old backup policy in combination with the change in the change in the backup source system would lead to a failure in fulfillment of the backup service level objective, automatically determining a new backup policy based on the change in the backup source system, the old backup policy, and the backup service level objective, wherein the new backup policy in combination with the change in the backup source system leads to a fulfillment of the backup service level objective;
- automatically activating the new backup policy;
- and
- performing a backup session based on the new backup policy.
(canceled)
A data processing system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations for dynamically changing a backup policy, the operations including:
- automatically detecting a change in a backup source system;
- automatically determining whether an old backup policy in combination with the change in the backup source system would lead to a failure in fulfillment of a backup service level objective;
- in response to determining that the old backup policy in combination with the change in the change in the backup source system would lead to a failure in fulfillment of the backup service level objective, automatically determining a new backup policy based on the change in the backup source system, the old backup policy, and the backup service level objective, wherein the new backup policy in combination with the change in the backup source system leads to a fulfillment of the backup service level objective;
- automatically activating the new backup policy;
- and
- performing a backup session based on the new backup policy.
