Method and system for dynamic snapshot based backup and recovery operations

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer-readable program code embodied therein, the computer-readable program code adapted to be executed by one or more processors to:

• receive an indication that a first backup or recovery operation should be performed for at least one storage location;
• retrieve a resource configuration value in response to receiving the indication that the first backup or recovery operation should be performed for the at least one storage location;
• identify a plurality of resources based on the retrieved resource configuration value, the plurality of resources being a pool of resources configured to store a backup of one or more data values stored in the at least one storage location;
• and
• select a first resource of the plurality of resources as a target of the backup or recovery operation, wherein the selecting is based on at least one performance capability of at least one resource of the plurality of resources.

A system comprising:

• a processor-based data management system, which causes processors of a server, to:
• receive an indication that a first backup or recovery operation should be performed for at least one storage location;
• retrieve a resource configuration value in response to receiving the indication that the first backup or recovery operation should be performed for the at least one storage location;
• identify a plurality of resources based on the retrieved resource configuration value, the plurality of resources being a pool of resources configured to store a backup of one or more data values stored in the at least one storage location;
• and
• select a first resource of the plurality of resources as a target of the backup or recovery operation, wherein the selecting is based on at least one performance capability of at least one resource of the plurality of resources.
