    Abstract: Techniques for storing incremental backups in long-term storage are described herein. A backup data set is generated from a set of data to backup and a deletion time for that backup data set is determined. A scheduled time period to perform the backup is selected based at least in part on a requested time period to perform the backup. The requested time period is altered if the performing the backup at the requested time period would produce a period of high resource contention at the destination for the backup. The backup is then stored at the destination at the scheduled time.

    Abstract: Techniques for producing incremental short-term backups while minimizing media access are described herein. A backup request is received that specifies data to backup and a schedule for that backup. The data is then partitioned based on the schedule and, for each of the partitions, it is determined whether to store a full or incremental backup of that partition. Each partition is fully backed up once during a cycle of backups and incrementally backed up at other times. With each full backup of a partition, a reverse delta that can be used to reconstruct the previous full backup for that partition is stored with the full backup.
