ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method for optimizing a data backup. The method comprising determining a backup project size, the backup project size identifying the quantity of data to be backed up; detecting available recording devices for transferring the data backup to storage media; receiving an input corresponding to at least one user specified optimization variable, wherein the at least one user specified optimization variable comprises an upper limit on the length of each of the calculated plurality of data streams; utilizing the at least one user specified optimization variable to calculate a plurality of data streams for performing the data backup; and assigning subsets of the plurality of data streams to the available recording devices to optimize the data backup.
