Abstract
Provided are techniques for a headless resilient backup and restore software ecosystem. At a first backup server of a plurality of backup servers, a connection request is received. At the first backup server, a second backup server is identified by: determining a backup server score for each of the plurality of backup servers based on identification factors comprising historical client latency, scheduled backup server workload, and whether the metadata is already cached on any of the plurality of backup servers and identifying the second backup server as having a lowest backup server score. The identification of the second backup server is returned.
