Abstract
Method for scheduling a new backup job within a backup application to optimize a utilization of a media resource of said backup application. The backup application includes one or more previously scheduled backup jobs. The backup application calculates a current load of the media resource as a function of the previously scheduled backup jobs and the media resource and predicts a load value for the new backup job as a function of job parameters associated with the new backup job. Then, the backup application schedules the new backup job as a function of the calculated current load and the predicted load value such that the resulting load on the media resource will yield a minimum peak percentage utilization of the media resource. Alternatively, the backup application schedules the new backup job and previously scheduled backup jobs as function of the calculated current load and the predicted load value such that the resulting load on the media resource will yield a minimum peak percentage utilization of the media resource.
