Abstract
A system and method provide for a reception of data at a computer processor. The data relates to a dataset in a computer system. The computer processor calculates a weight for the dataset as a function of the data, and the processor executes an action on the dataset as a function of the weight. In an embodiment, the action is a backup of data on the computer system, and through recalculation of the weight over a period of time, the backup schedule, backup media, and other parameters are altered based on the changing weight for a dataset.
Claims25
A process comprising:
- receiving at a computer processor data relating to a dataset in a computer system, the data and dataset relating to one or more characteristics of the computer system, wherein the data relates to a number of applications on a server, a configuration of the server, and a number of clients connected to the server during a given time period;
- using the computer processor to calculate a weight for the dataset as a function of the data, wherein the weight comprises a protection weight;
- receiving at the computer processor over a period of time additional or revised data relating to the dataset in the computer system, the additional or revised data relating to the one or more characteristics of the computer system;
- and
- recalculating the weight over a period of time based on the additional or revised data, such that the computer system can adjust or modify an action to execute on the dataset.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a computer processor execute a process comprising:
- receiving at the computer processor data relating to a dataset in a computer system, the data and dataset relating to one or more characteristics of the computer system, wherein the data relates to a number of applications on a server, a configuration of the server, and a number of clients connected to the server during a given time period;
- using the computer processor to calculate a weight for the dataset as a function of the data, wherein the weight comprises a protection weight;
- receiving at the computer processor over a period of time additional or revised data relating to the dataset in the computer system, the additional or revised data relating to the one or more characteristics of the computer system;
- and
- recalculating the weight over a period of time based on the additional or revised data, such that the computer system can adjust or modify an action to execute on the dataset.
A computer system comprising:
- a computer processor configured for receiving data relating to a dataset in a computer system, the data and dataset relating to one or more characteristics of the computer system, wherein the data relates to a number of applications on a server, a configuration of the server, and a number of clients connected to the server during a given time period;
- a computer processor configured for calculating a weight for the dataset as a function of the data, wherein the weight comprises a protection weight;
- a computer processor configured for receiving over a period of time additional or revised data relating to the dataset in the computer system, the additional or revised data relating to the one or more characteristics of the computer system;
- and
- a computer processor configured for recalculating the weight over a period of time based on the additional or revised data, such that the computer system can adjust or modify an action to execute on the dataset.
