Pre-Population of Data for Replication of Data Backups

摘要

A system and a method are disclosed for pre-seeding data to backup servers and determining servers for additional backups. Backup data is received from a client device through a first backup request and sent to a primary server for storage. Additional backup data from a second backup request is received. After the initial backup data is stored on the primary server and pre-seeded by the primary server on a secondary server, a status of backup servers associated with the client device is received. The backup servers include the primary server and can include the secondary server. Responsive to the status indicating availability of a server in the backup servers, a recipient server is identified from the backup servers and the additional backup data is sent to the identified recipient server.
