A method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for obtaining a hierarchical data structure and processing a log entry is disclosed. The method for obtaining the hierarchical data structure includes: obtaining corresponding characteristic information included in each log entry of a set of log entries and determining multiple log entry patterns based on the corresponding characteristic information. The pattern characteristic information of each log entry pattern corresponds to the characteristic information of a subset of log entries in the set of log entries. The method also includes storing the set of log entries according to the hierarchical data structure so that each log entry is associated with at least one of multiple nodes of the hierarchical data structure. The multiple nodes respectively correspond to the multiple log entry patterns, and are hierarchically organized based on respective corresponding log entry patterns.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for deleting backup data. The method includes determining a set of non-backup time periods for an object based on a set of backup time periods for the object. The method further includes selecting a subset of non-backup time periods from the set of non-backup time periods on the basis of a time length. The method further includes deleting backup data of the object in the subset of non-backup time periods. By the embodiments of the present disclosure, a suitable time period can be selected, and unnecessary backup data is effectively deleted from the selected time period, thus improving the success rate of deletion of backup data.
