Abstract
Systems and methods described herein create and schedule remote copy jobs that are distributed among several backup windows, thereby increasing backup service reliability and network resource utilization when copying data from local to remote site. This is accomplished by ranking backup windows by resource availability and proactively guiding a consumer to avoid selecting backup windows that may suffer from a temporal resource scarcity. Recommending suitable backup windows advantageously preserves SLAs by reducing SLA violations that otherwise may occur due to resource scarcity.
