Method and system for realtime optimization of load on plurality of backup storage devices

Abstract:

The present disclosure is related to field of data backup in storage environment, and a method and system for dynamically controlling backup data on storage devices. A data allocating system may pool storage devices and backup data corresponding to client devices. Further performance parameters of storage devices may be evaluated for a pre-set time period based on which a rank is assigned to each of the plurality of storage devices based on performance parameters. Upon assigning the rank, the load characteristics and performance characteristics may be evaluated for each client device for the pre-set time period based on which a performance load index is determined for each client device. Finally, backup data of each client device may be dynamically allocated to each storage device by correlating rank and performance load index. The present disclosure reduces load on single storage device and increases efficiency by reducing delay in backing up data.
