Abstract
A container load balancer process helps schedule backups of containerized data based on defined attributes and historical data. Containers are classified using a KNN-based classifier based on attributes. A tagger component assigns a priority tag to each container. A monitor monitors an assignment of backup tasks to proxies for the backing up step, and a load balancer determines if the assignment distributes backup loads within a defined performance tolerance, and adjusts the assignment if not. A backup server then backs up the container data in an order determined by the classifying and the assignment or adjusted assignment.
