Abstract
A remote agent, for providing data protection services to virtual machines, includes persistent storage and a backup manager. The persistent storage is for storing a resource allocation calendar and lifecycle policies associated with the virtual machines. The backup manager obtains a virtual machine data package from a virtual machine of the virtual machines; identifies a computational load change point based on the lifecycle policies; predicts a magnitude of a computational load during a period of time demarcated by the computational load change point using, at least in part, the virtual machine data package; updates the resource allocation calendar to obtain an updated resource allocation calendar, the updating is based on: the identified computational load change point, and the magnitude of the computational load during the period of time; and generates a backup for the virtual machine using the updated resource allocation calendar.
