Abstract: Techniques for selecting a backup type based on changed data are described in various implementations. An example method that implements the techniques may include identifying a backup policy that describes a source of data to be backed up during a backup operation. The method may also include determining an amount of data that has changed on the source since a previous backup of the source. The method may also include selecting a type of backup to perform based on the amount of data that has changed on the source. The method may also include causing the backup operation to be performed using the selected type of backup.

Abstract: Techniques for rescheduling a failed backup job are described in various implementations. A method that implements the techniques may include identifying a failed instance of a backup job, and determining an estimated amount of time to complete a rescheduled execution of the failed instance. The method may also include determining an available window of time in a backup schedule that equals or exceeds the estimated amount of time to complete the rescheduled execution, and rescheduling the failed instance for execution during the available window of time.
