Abstract
Embodiments for a data protection method of grouping assets for protection policy assignment based on asset metadata by defining a set of metrics characterizing each asset in the system and comparing each metric of an asset with corresponding metrics of other asset groups each containing one or more other assets. A unique protection policy is assigned to each group for application to each asset within a respective group. An overall affinity percentage of the metrics of asset with the corresponding metrics of each group is determined, and the asset is automatically grouped into the group based with the highest overall affinity percentage. The user is prompted to confirm the automatic grouping or to select a different group for assigning to the asset.
