Abstract: A determination is made that a relational database management system (RDBMS) is configured as a distributed availability group. The distributed availability group spans first and second availability groups. Each availability group includes a cluster of servers hosting replicas of a database. One of the first or second availability groups functions as a primary availability group. Another of the first or second availability groups functions as a secondary availability group that is available as a failover target should the primary availability group become unavailable. A name of the distributed availability group is obtained. A first server in the first availability group is directed to backup a replica of the database being hosted by the first server. The directing includes instructing the first server to index the backup against the name of the distributed availability group.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, in response to a request to transfer a data set from a source system to a target system over a network, an adaptive performance control (APC) controller allocates a plurality of data streams for transferring the data set. The APC controller activates one or more data streams from the allocated data streams to transfer the data set from the source system to the target system. The APC controller monitors an overall throughput of the activated data streams assigned to transfer the data set from the source system to the target system. The APC controller dynamically adjusts a number of the activated data streams based on the monitored overall throughput of the activated data streams, such that a maximum overall throughput of the activated data streams is reached while maintaining a minimum number of the activated data streams.
