Abstract
Backup schedule optimization is provided. Data describing a first backup schedule for a first backup server is identified. Performance metric data and workload data for a first backup server and a second backup server is collected. If a count of backup windows represented by workload data for the first backup server exceeds a data collection threshold, an updated backup schedule that offloads a pending job from the first backup server to the second backup server can be generated. The updated backup schedule is generated if a maximum average I/O threshold for the first backup server was exceeded while a minimum average I/O threshold for the second backup server was deceeded. The maximum and minimum average I/O thresholds are calculated based on respective target average I/O rates for the first and second backup servers, the target average I/O rates derived from respective perform metric data.
