Abstract
A policy level controller coordinates a scheduling and policy engine using a data change metric to dynamically schedule or re-define policies in response to data change rates in data assets in a current backup session. A supervised learning process trains a model using historical data of backup operations of the system to establish past data change metrics for corresponding backups processing the saveset, and modifies policies dictating the backup schedule by determining a data change rate of received data, as expressed as a number of bytes changed per unit of time. In response to input from backup targets regarding present usage, it then modifies the backup schedule to minimize the impact on backup targets that may be at or close to overload conditions.
