Abstract
A method and system for intelligently load balancing database backup operations in information technology (IT) environments. Specifically, the method and system disclosed herein may be directed to breaking down any given database backup operation into various constituent backup operation stages. Further, each successive backup operation stage of the various backup operation stages may be performed on an appropriate client node in a cluster of client nodes through load balancing orchestration. Selection of the appropriate client node to perform a given backup operation stage may be determined at least based on an availability of resources for performing database backup operations on the client node versus the availability of resources on other client nodes in the cluster.
