A method for prioritizing data backup requests includes assigning priority values to a plurality of parameters, each parameter being associated with a plurality of data backup requests. The data backup requests can be sorted according to a primary parameter based on the priority values to prioritize the data backup requests. The data backup requests can also be sorted according to a secondary parameter when at least two of the data backup requests have a same primary parameter priority value.

Data backup prioritization

Scheduling of backup jobs is optimized in accordance with a characteristic of the backup jobs. The characteristic of the backup jobs can take into account a number of the backup jobs that are stale. A stale backup job is a backup job in which no backed up data changed during a most recent performance of the backup job.
