Abstract
A system and method for controlling a backup of a plurality of computing devices to a distinct storage is provided. The method comprises: determining, based at least on a write speed parameter and backup data parameter of each computing device, whether a throughput and/or a speed of a backup of computer devices can be improved; calculating, in response to a positive result of the determining, new write speeds for the individual computing devices; and sending the new write speeds to at least the corresponding ones of the computing devices. The new write speeds of individual ones of the plurality of computers are balanced such that each computing device completes backup at substantially the same time.
