Abstract
A method for managing network attached storage (NAS) assets includes obtaining, by a backup manager, a backup request for backing up the NAS assets, in response to the backup request: determining a number of streams available to be performed in parallel by a set of backup agents, obtaining a set of slices associated with the NAS assets, assigning a portion of the set of slices to the streams based on the number of streams, initiating a backup operation based on the portion of the set of slices, monitoring, after initiating the backup operation, the backup operation to identify a stream of the streams is available, and assigning, based on the identifying, a slice of the set of slices to the stream.
