Abstract
A system and method of dynamic backup policy generation based upon a user's behavior is provided. The method may include detecting a user's usage pattern of files within a computing system based upon the user's backup or restore activities. In some embodiments, the backup system may identify the files that have been modified and calculate the percentage of modification away from a predetermined baseline or another previously stored version. The system may generate a list of the identified files along with these percentages to form the user's usage pattern. The method may further include generating a user's profile including files having high access rates in accordance with this usage pattern and adjusting a backup policy based upon the user's profile such that these files are backed-up more frequently. The backup policy may also be adjusted based upon a detected level of risk associated with the user.
