Abstract

Systems and methods for determining impact of a backup job on virtual storage resources are disclosed. An exemplary method includes determining an estimated performance and logical/physical capacity for the backup job on a virtual library storage (VLS). The method also includes determining an actual performance and logical/physical capacity without the backup job. The method also includes determining a simulated performance and logical/physical capacity based on the estimated and actual performance and logical/physical capacity. The method also includes comparing the simulated performance and logical/physical capacity to a threshold.
