Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for protecting data based on a context of data movement operations are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining a list of carriers in response to a request to transfer data, stored on a storage system associated with a first location, to a second location, wherein each of the carriers is configured to physically move at least one mobile storage unit; scheduling at least two of the carriers to perform the transfer; transferring at least a portion of the data as data chunks from the first location to the second location, wherein each of the scheduled carriers transfers different data chunks via the corresponding at least one mobile storage unit; and transferring, over a network, at least one of: control information corresponding to the transfer and at least another portion of the data associated with the request.
