    摘要: Techniques described herein relate to a method for performing data protection services for data stored in a shared storage. The method may include identifying, by a primary data node, a protection policy event initiating performance of data protection services for data stored in the shared storage used by the primary data node and secondary data nodes; in response to identifying the protection policy event: obtaining primary data node monitoring information associated with the primary data node; obtaining secondary data node monitoring information associated with the secondary data nodes; assigning at least one resource limit to the primary data node and the secondary data nodes based on the primary data node monitoring information and the secondary data node monitoring information; and initiating performance of the data protection services by the primary data node and the secondary data nodes based on the assigned at least one resource limit.

    摘要: Described is a system for predictive storage policy selection for a cloud-based storage based on backup monitoring. The system may reduce storage costs incurred by a subscriber of a backup service that leverages a cloud-based storage. The system may monitor backup operations and collect backup statistics associated with the resource requirements of performing a backup to a cloud-based storage. To collect such information, the system may execute a specialized monitoring process that works in conjunction with a backup application and/or server. The collected information may be stored as part of a metadata database associated with the object storage. Accordingly, the system may retrieve the information from the metadata database to predict storage costs associated with performing future backup operations. Based on the predicted storage costs, the system may automatically select an appropriate storage policy.
