DYNAMICALLY ALLOCATING STREAMS DURING RESTORATION OF DATA

Abstract:

The systems and methods described herein dynamically allocate streams when restoring data from databases. In some embodiments, the system and methods restore data from a database by determining a number of streams to allocate to the database for restoring files of data from the database. The determined number of streams may be based on a total amount of data within the database, and/or may be based, at least in part, on the previous number of streams used during backup operations, in order to balance the benefit of allocating streams to a restoration of data with any detriments associated with changing the number of streams from the number used during previous backup operations.
