Abstract
Backup requirements of a new client and one or more existing clients stored in a first set of first storage units are determined. Data of the one or more existing clients is then migrated from the first set of storage units to a first storage unit that is selected from a second set of storage units based on a cost calculated using a cost function based on at least backup requirements of the new and existing clients. Subsequent data of the new client and the existing clients is stored in the first storage unit.
