Abstract
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that assists with dynamically determining and readjusting failover targets includes identifying an existing failover target from a plurality of failover targets for backing up an updated object. The identified existing failover target is determined for eligibility for backing up the updated object. One or more new failover targets from the plurality of failover targets are dynamically identified based on a plurality of storage parameters when the identified existing failover target is determined not to be eligible for backing up the updated object. The updated object is backed up in one of the dynamically identified one or more new failover targets.
