Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for managing backup jobs, an electronic device, and a computer program product. The method includes: determining expected execution durations of a group of to-be-executed backup jobs; dividing the group of to-be-executed backup jobs into a plurality of backup job subsets based on the expected execution durations, wherein a difference between the expected execution durations of every two backup jobs in each backup job subset does not exceed a predetermined threshold duration; and adjusting an execution plan of the group of to-be-executed backup jobs to cause the backup jobs in at least one backup job subset in the plurality of backup job subsets to simultaneously begin to be executed.
