Abstract
A backup storage system and methods implemented by the backup storage system are disclosed. The backup software performs a plurality of backup operations to backup one or more data objects according to a backup schedule. The backup operations may be alternated across a plurality of backup storage devices, and each of the backup operations may operate to store a respective backup data set on one of the backup storage devices. In performing the plurality of backup operations, the backup storage system may create the backup data sets such that each respective backup storage device can be used independently of the other backup storage device(s) to perform a complete recovery of the one or more data objects to any point in time that corresponds to any respective backup data set stored on the respective backup storage device.
