Abstract
A conflict resolution component uses data change measure to resolve conflicts when data assets with the same priority tags arrive simultaneously for protection processing. The data change measure quantifies the extent of modifications or updates made to the asset since a last backup. Assets with a higher data change measure are assigned a higher priority and processed ahead of others with the same priority tag. This reprioritization ensures that backup objects with more significant data changes are handled first. Such a system overcomes the issues associated with present methods backup queueing methods including random scheduling of data having the same priority tags or classifications.
