Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method of backup management, an electronic device and a computer program product. The method comprises: determining a plurality of candidate backup policies for a plurality of clients of a data backup system, determining an expected load balance degree with respect to time for the data backup system to perform data backups for the plurality of clients using the plurality of candidate backup policies, determining an actual load balance degree with respect to time for the data backup system while the data backup system is performing the data backups for the plurality of clients using a plurality of current backup policies, and selecting a plurality of backup policies to be used for the plurality of clients respectively, based on a comparison of the expected load balance degree and the actual load balance degree.
