Systems and methods are disclosed for performing a backup or restoring one or more virtual disks of a virtual machine (VM) having a universally unique identifier (UUID). A backup API within a virtual machine manager (VMM) on a host can discover virtual disks that are configured for a particular VM. The VMM can use the backup API to communicate with a backup agent on a source storage to discover mappings of virtual disks to portions of storage, including mapping of raw virtual disks to logical units of storage on a storage device or appliance. Backup of the virtual disks can include backing up the VM configuration data and metadata and backing up the raw disk mapping files. Backups can be in accordance with one or more policies stored at the backup server and associated with the virtual machine UUID or associated with an account that the virtual machine, or its user, are associated with.

Systems and methods are provided for performing a backup operation in a computing system. The source data and associated hardware are assessed to determine an optimum read block size and an optimum number of backup streams. The source data is then backed up using the optimum number of backup streams at the optimum read block size.
