Dynamic thread pool resizing for backing up file sets
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12013761B2) discloses a system and method for backing up a file set from a source host. The system includes at least one processor and memory with instructions to receive responses over a network, process the responses, aggregate samples, resize the thread pool, and back up the file set based on metadata. The method involves executing a job at a backup host, identifying operation sets based on file sharing protocols, and communicating requests to the source host using threads from the thread pool. The patent details operations for generating latency, incrementing requests, and resizing the thread pool based on aggregated data to optimize the backup process efficiently.
Furthermore, the patent describes the steps involved in generating latency, aggregating samples, and resizing the thread pool based on average latency and number of requests ratios. The method includes identifying file sharing protocols, executing operations sets, and communicating requests in parallel to the source host. The patent also covers scenarios where the thread pool size is increased or decreased based on the average number of requests ratio compared to the average latency ratio. By detailing the process of backing up a file set from a source host using a systematic approach involving thread pool management and data aggregation, the patent aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of file backup operations in network environments.
