Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to methods for managing backup and restore operations. Such a method may include performing a vProxy health analysis to obtain vProxies assigned a healthy label; performing a confidence analysis to assign a health confidence score to each separate healthy label for each vProxy of the plurality of vProxies; filtering the plurality of vProxies to obtain a set of vProxies, each having a separate health confidence score over a confidence score threshold; calculating average throughput for each vProxy in the set of vProxies; assigning an optimal label to a vProxy of the set of vProxies based on the vProxy having an average throughput over a throughput threshold; and presenting a list of optimal vProxies comprising the vProxy to an entity configuring a backup job. The entity may select the vProxy for use in the backup job in response to being presented the optimal label of the vProxy.
