Abstract
Embodiments describe concurrently backing up data associated with a relational database management system (RDBMS). In an embodiment, a request is received to back up data from multiple nodes to a target storage source. The multiple nodes are configured to provide storage services to data associated with the RDBMS and are communicatively coupled to a backup server configured to manage backup of one or more storage devices. In response to the request, one or more preference nodes are identified from multiple nodes based on a preference configuration. Using a backup algorithm, portions of the backup to be performed are assigned to one or more preference nodes selected from the identified preference nodes. The backup operations are initiated using the selected preference node(s). Each portion is a distinct subset of the data to be backed up and each of the selected preference node(s) is assigned a unique portion.
