Abstract
Various systems, methods and apparatuses for intelligently and dynamically allocating proxy backup clients to back up and restore vast amounts of data distributed across a network are presented. One method involves identify distributed data stored in a computer system, requesting the data, and performing a backup or restore operation on the data. Other aspects include intelligently dynamically allocating proxy backup clients to perform backup and restore operations on data distributed across a network, and intelligently and dynamically balancing, or re-balancing or otherwise managing the workload among the proxy backup clients.
