Abstract
In a data processing system having multiple production hosts, each with a backup agent, interfaced to a storage array and to a backup server, an array I/O priority engine on the storage array establishes and enforces I/O priorities for I/O backup and production communications with the array to ensure that backup does not consume a disproportionate CPU processing and array bandwidth load or disrupt more critical production processing.
