Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for efficiently backing up a production host. In one or more embodiments, assets are assigned to one or more slices. Depending on the type of assets assigned to a slice such as directory information versus data, the slices are assigned a flag. This flag may then be used to determine which streams a slice should be assigned to and based on the specific flags of the slices assigned to each stream, the order by which the streams are transferred to backup containers located in a backup storage may be determined. This may result in better or more efficient utilization of available connections between the containers and the production host, resulting in better utilization of system and network resources as well as a better backup and recovery performance.
