Abstract
Flexible scheduling for backup jobs includes backup policies that allow for flexibility in scheduling execution time, and an automated data driven backup job execution scheduler. The scheduler balances load on the customer's and data protection system's resources using a dynamic pricing calculator that takes into account the real-time and predicted near-future status of the protection environment. The backup job scheduler includes a user interface that enables users to specify user-customized backup policies that enable flexibility in scheduling execution times and transparency in pricing.
