Abstract: A set of restore jobs are created to restore a backup. The backup may be maintained across a set of storage devices connected to a backup server. The set of storage devices have different levels of performance and each restore job is responsible for restoring from a respective storage device. Information describing arrangements of processors and memory units is reviewed to create a set of heterogeneous domains, each domain including a processor and memory unit. Performance characteristics, including latency and bandwidth measurements, of the heterogeneous domains are examined. The heterogeneous domains are ranked based on their performance characteristics. The restore jobs are assigned to the heterogeneous domains by successively matching a restore job associated with a storage device having a lowest level of performance relative to other unmatched storage devices with a heterogeneous domain having a highest level of performance relative to other unmatched heterogeneous domains.

Abstract: Distributed deduplication wherein runtime performance of dedup pipelines in all nodes is monitored. The bottleneck for each pipeline is identified and machine resources from different nodes are reallocated to seek to balance the costs of each stage of each task in each of the pipelines. While the overall cost for each task may remain the same, stalls may be eliminated such that the total cost to complete all the tasks is reduced. The global dedup ratio and the local compression ratio may be used to weight certain stage costs.

Abstract: An intelligent method of selecting a data recovery site upon receiving a data recovery request. The backup system collects historical activity data of the storage system to identify work load of every data recovery site. A predicted activity load for each data recovery site is then generated using the collected data. When a request for data recovery is received, the system first identifies which data recovery site has copies of the files to be recovered. Then it uses the predicted work load for these data recovery sites to determine whether to use a geographically local site or a site that may be remote geographically, but has a lower work load.
