Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device and a computer program product for managing backup data. The method comprises receiving a first request from a user for managing backup data on a first virtual machine management platform. The method further comprises sending a second request comprising a user identifier and a platform identifier to a backup server. The method further comprises receiving, from the backup server, a first virtual machine identifier of the first virtual machine used by the user on the second virtual machine management platform and backup records corresponding to the first virtual machine identifier. The method further comprises determining, based on the first virtual machine identifier, whether a second virtual machine matched with the first virtual machine is present in the first virtual machine management platform. The method further comprises, in response to the second virtual machine being present, storing the backup records in association with a second virtual machine identifier related to the second virtual machine. With the above method, it is possible to implement quick migration of backup data across platforms thereby providing a seamless, reliable and convenient data protection solution for the user.

Method for managing backup data on first, second, or third virtual machine management platform

The present disclosure relates to a method, a device and a computer program product for backup management. An initial set of data items associated with a plurality of historical data backup operations are obtained, a data item in the initial set of data items indicates a data amount and time consumption associated with a corresponding historical data backup operation. A degree of change in time consumption per unit data amount of a candidate data item in the initial set of data items is determined and the candidate data item from the initial set of data items is removed based on the degree of change to generate a reference set of data items, which is stored for predicting time consumption of a future data backup operation.
