Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for efficiently backing up a production host. In one or more embodiments, the size of slices associated with certain preset asset types are altered. By leveraging metadata of previous backups performed on the assets/hosts, one or more embodiments of the invention are able to determine the types of assets being backed up. Based on these determinations, some asset types may be assigned to slices having a larger size, while other assets may be assigned to slices having smaller sizes as appropriate for type of asset. Thus, various embodiments may improve the utilization of system and network resources.
