Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for storage performance expansion. The method includes acquiring, from a client, backup settings of a user for backing up data in a storage system and the user's priority. The method further includes determining, based on the user's priority, an input/output (I/O) specification of the storage system that is able to be allocated to the client. The method further includes determining, based on the backup settings, a time period in which a peak value of an I/O load of the storage system occurs. The method further includes increasing I/O performance of the storage system in response to that the peak value is greater than an upper limit of the I/O specification. The embodiments of the present disclosure can solve the I/O peak problem more effectively without interrupting a data backup or restoration service.
