Abstract
Assets are associated to a data protection policy. Configuration information is received for the data protection policy. The configuration information includes a data protection job to perform for the assets and a schedule for the data protection job. A shadow policy is generated that includes the configuration information. The data protection policy is executed. Upon detecting a failure of the data protection job for an asset, the asset is moved from the data protection policy to the shadow policy. The shadow policy is executed. Execution of the shadow policy includes calculating a base time value, adding a random time value to the base time value to obtain a wait time, and after the wait time has elapsed, retrying the data protection job.
