Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device, and a computer program product for managing scheduling of a backup task. A method for managing scheduling of a backup task is provided, including: acquiring a scheduling setting for a target backup task, the scheduling setting specifying at least a start time of executing the target backup task in a backup system; acquiring execution information associated with execution of the target backup task according to the scheduling setting; and determining a score for the scheduling setting based on the execution information, the score indicating a degree of impact of the execution of the target backup task according to the scheduling setting on the performance of the backup system. With the embodiments of the present disclosure, the scheduling setting can be evaluated, thereby optimizing the scheduling of a backup task and improving the performance of a backup system.

Method, device, and computer program product for managing scheduling of backup task

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method of backup management, an electronic device and a computer program product. The method comprises: determining a plurality of candidate backup policies for a plurality of clients of a data backup system, determining an expected load balance degree with respect to time for the data backup system to perform data backups for the plurality of clients using the plurality of candidate backup policies, determining an actual load balance degree with respect to time for the data backup system while the data backup system is performing the data backups for the plurality of clients using a plurality of current backup policies, and selecting a plurality of backup policies to be used for the plurality of clients respectively, based on a comparison of the expected load balance degree and the actual load balance degree.

Dynamic optimization of backup policy

A method and system for providing file level restore (FLR) service for restoring one or more files stored in a plurality of file systems in a backup of a first virtual machine is provided. The method creates a FLR session for a user, including: creating a virtual disk file in a second virtual machine providing the FLR service, the virtual disk file including an empty file system being mounted as a root folder of a virtual appliance in the second virtual machine; creating a respective folder for each of the plurality of file systems under the root folder; mounting each of the plurality of file systems to the respective folder; and mounting the root folder to a folder of the second virtual machine. The method restores the one or more files by the user through accessing the folder of the second virtual machine in the FLR session.
