Abstract
Techniques for storing incremental backups in long-term storage are described herein. A backup data set is generated from a set of data to backup and a deletion time for that backup data set is determined. A scheduled time period to perform the backup is selected based at least in part on a requested time period to perform the backup. The requested time period is altered if the performing the backup at the requested time period would produce a period of high resource contention at the destination for the backup. The backup is then stored at the destination at the scheduled time.
