Abstract
In one example, a method for data backup includes surveying an environment, that has a plurality of nodes which are each associated with one or more databases, to determine a distribution of the databases across the nodes. A database profile is then created based on the survey and identifies a node with maximum ownership of databases. Next, a preferred server order list (PSOL) is generated that is based on the database profile, a last activation preference for one of the databases, and a failover preference for one of the databases. Using the PSOL, a backup workload is balanced across the nodes, and the databases are then backed up using the results of the backup workload balancing.
