Abstract
An approach for staged data backup is provided. The approach comprises downloading data to be backed up, by one or more processors, from at least one of cloud computing servers in a plurality of stages into a local cache, wherein each of the plurality of stages corresponds to a time point when a corresponding downloading operation starts, and a time point corresponding to the last stage of the plurality of stages is the time point when a request to back up the data is received. The approach comprises merging, by one or more processors, downloaded data corresponding to each of the plurality of stages into up-to-date data. The approach further comprises saving, by one or more processors, the merged up-to-date data corresponding to the last stage as a backup dataset.
