Abstract
A backup orchestrator for providing backup services to entities includes storage for storing recovery point objectives for the entities and a backup manager. The backup manager selects an optimization periodicity based a number of backups to be generated to meet a portion of the recovery point objectives; makes a determination that at least one of the portion of the recovery point objectives has a maximum allowable unbacked up period of time that is greater than the optimization periodicity; in response to the determination: load balances the number of backups across multiple optimization periods, based on the optimization periodicity, of a balanced backup schedule; selects a backup generation time for each of the to be generated backups in each of the optimization periods of the balanced backup schedule; and generates the number of backups using the balanced backup schedule.
