Abstract
Methods and systems for file level prioritization during a data backup operation are described. According to some embodiments, the method includes in response to a request to backup one or more files and for each file, sniffing file information of the file. The method further includes determining a backup critical level of the file based on the file information. The method further includes assigning a weighted value corresponding to the backup critical level of the file. The method further includes using the weighted value to calculate a Euclidean distance of the file to a next consecutive file.
