Abstract
A method for backing up data includes: determining a storage tier for storing the data; determining a data access frequency of the data, where the data access frequency indicates a frequency at which the data is accessed; and taking information of the storage tier and the data access frequency of the data as metadata, and sending the metadata and the data to a backup server. By sending the information including the storage tier for storing the data and the data access frequency as the metadata to the backup server, the computing device is enabled to recover the data by using the information in the metadata during the data recovery process, so that the data tiering layout can be maintained in the storage region to maintain the storage service performance, and thus a seamless storage service is provided to improve the user experience.
