Abstract
A system and method is provided for selecting a backup plan based on sampled metadata. An exemplary method includes sampling metadata of files on a computer during a predetermined time interval and predicting file usage dynamics for a time interval subsequent to the predetermined time interval, based on a combination of the derivative features and the attributes of the metadata, wherein the predicted file usage dynamics indicate how the files will be utilized on the computer during the time interval. The method includes identifying on the computer at least one newly stored file, selecting a backup plan for the at least one newly stored file based on the file usage dynamics, and backing up the at least one newly stored file to a storage server according to the selected backup plan.
