Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a data backup method, an electronic device and a computer program product. The method provided includes creating a workflow related to a data source, the workflow being configured to generate a copy of the data source or to replicate the copy of the data source to a remote device. The method further includes identifying a dependency of the workflow, the dependency indicating whether the workflow depends on at least one additional workflow related to the data source. The method further includes scheduling the workflow based at least on the identified dependency. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, by use of a dependency-based scheduling mechanism, the performance of a storage system can be improved, and consumption of resources such as a storage and an internal memory can be reduced.
