Abstract
The technology described herein is directed towards automated generation of an efficient job (e.g., data backup job) schedule based on input provided by an administrator. A precheck is performed, prior to running scheduled jobs, based on variable data. The precheck alerts of predicted problems such as possible job failures, which can be remediated manually or via automation prior to running the jobs, and thereby increases the success rate with respect to running a job. At the time of running jobs, the technology considers real-time events and can adjust the running time, schedules, etc. Real time detection of asset inactivity/idle time can be used to host jobs at times other than traditional off-peak hours, and thereby extend the operating window for running jobs.
