Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to a method for forecasting backup failures. Such techniques may include: obtaining data items associated with backup jobs; writing entries in a time series database, the entries comprising successful backup jobs and failed backup jobs; performing a first analysis to predict future failed backup jobs based on the entries in the time series database to obtain a future backup job failure predictions; performing a second analysis to determine a confidence prediction for each of the future backup job failure predictions; ranking the future backup job failure predictions based on the second analysis; performing a third analysis to determine at least one variable leading to each of the future backup job failure predictions; and sending results of the second analysis and the third analysis to an administrator of a data domain.
