Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to a method for backing up a file system. The method includes identifying, by a backup manager, a backup generation event associated with a file system stored in a network-attached storage; in response to identifying the backup generation event: initiating performance of pre-backup tasks to obtain a snapshot of the file system and a slice list associated with the file system; assigning priorities to slice groups specified by the slice list based on priority criteria; distributing backup jobs associated with the slice groups to available proxy hosts based on priority; initiating performance of the backup jobs on the available proxy hosts; making a determination that additional slice groups are remaining; and in response to the determination: adding the remaining slice groups to a slice queue.
