Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device, and a computer program product for data backup. The method includes determining a group of backup tasks for backing up a data object. The method further includes determining, based on backup types of backup tasks in the group of backup tasks, whether there are a plurality of backup tasks capable of being combined in the group of backup tasks. The method further includes determining, in response to determining that there are a plurality of backup tasks capable of being combined in the group of backup tasks, a combined backup task for the plurality of backup tasks. The method further includes backing up the data object by using the combined backup task. This method can reduce the amount of data that needs to be backed up, thereby reducing the use of computing resources and storage resources, reducing the impact on a production environment of a user, and improving the user experience.
