Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for efficiently performing one or more backups of assets stored on a shared storage. in one or more embodiments, the assets are sliced into a plurality of slices and the size of the slices is determined based on a maximum recommended number of connections that can be used and either a previous backups number of connections used, or the total number of connections currently used. the recommended number of connections to use is also calculated based on system telemetry. by changing the size of the slices, one or more embodiments of the invention may ensure that the backup is performed as efficiently as possible. this may result in better utilization of system and network resources as well as a better backup and recovery performance.
