  • Patent number: 11604704
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for data backup. The method includes obtaining an attribute value associated with a backup task to be run, the backup task being used for backing up data on a client terminal to a server through a network, the attribute value including a value of at least one of an attribute of the client terminal, an attribute of the server, and an attribute of the network; determining, based on the attribute value, the number of threads to be used to perform the backup task on the client terminal; and causing the client terminal to perform the backup task using the number of threads to back up the data.

  • Patent number: 11507471
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, device, and computer program product for managing a backup system. The method comprises obtaining a state of a backup system, wherein the backup system comprises a plurality of backup servers and a plurality of backup clients, the plurality of backup servers is communicatively coupled to the plurality of backup clients via a network, and wherein at least one backup server from the plurality of backup servers is configured to back up data of at least one backup client allocated from the plurality of backup clients to the at least one backup server, determining a reward score corresponding to the state of the backup system and, determining, based on the state of the backup system and the reward score, configuration information for the backup system, the configuration information indicating allocation of the plurality of backup clients to the plurality of backup servers.

  • Patent number: 11294773
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, device, and computer program product for managing a backup system. The method comprises obtaining a state of a backup system, the backup system comprising a backup server and at least one backup client, the backup server being communicatively coupled to the at least one backup client via a network and configured to back up data of the at least one backup client; determining a reward score corresponding to the state of the backup system; and determining, based on the state of the backup system and the reward score, configuration information for the backup system, the configuration information indicating a schedule for the backup server to perform data backups on the at least one backup client. Embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the performance of the backup system and reduce the management overhead of the backup system.
