Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a storage management method, an electronic device, and a computer program product. The method includes: determining, in a storage device set, a plurality of candidate subsets of storage devices used for data backup, wherein the plurality of candidate subsets include substantially the same number of storage devices. The method further includes: determining global balance degrees respectively corresponding to the plurality of candidate subsets, wherein the global balance degree indicates a usage balance degree of the storage device set when storage devices in a corresponding candidate subset are used for data backup. The method further includes: determining a target subset of storage devices for data backup in the plurality of candidate subsets based on the global balance degrees.
