Transfer of user data between logical data sites

A method for transferring data between data sites, the method comprising:

• determining source data backup sites associated with a destination data backup site;
• allocating available network bandwidth to the source data backup sites based on storage parameters associated with the source data backup sites;
• generating an order of priority for data transfer from the source data backup sites to the destination data backup site based on the storage parameters;
• and
• scheduling transfer jobs to transfer backup data from the source data backup sites to the destination data backup site based on the order of priority.

A system for transferring data between data sites, the system comprising:

• a device, comprising a processor executing a source site scheduler module and a user data backup transfer module;
• wherein the source site schedule module is configured to:
• determine backup data for transferring from a source data backup site to a destination data backup site based on a storage parameter, the backup data comprising data associated with a client device;
• receive a transfer parameter from the destination data backup site, the transfer parameter comprising a storage logical site available for data storage;
• match the determined backup data to the storage logical site based on a parameter selected from a group consisting of the storage parameter, and the transfer parameter;
• and
• schedule a transfer of the determined backup data to the storage logical site based on a parameter selected from a group consisting of the storage parameter, the transfer parameter, and a schedule parameter;
• and
• wherein the user data backup transfer module is configured to transfer backup data from the source data backup site to the destination data backup site;
• suspend a backend process associated with the client device after transferring backup data;
• determine whether all backup data for the client device transferred from the source backup data site to the destination backup data site;
• and
• resume the backend process associated with the client device.
