Performing a background copy process during a backup operation

摘要

In one embodiment, a system includes a performance monitoring facility of a database adapted for measuring performance of the database regularly, a data protection manager for controlling a backup operation of the database on a storage subsystem, logic adapted for providing an interface between the performance monitoring facility of the database and the data protection manager, logic adapted for starting the backup operation while informing the performance monitoring facility about the starting of the backup operation, logic adapted for continuously evaluating performance of the database to determine when a predefined performance criterion is violated, and logic adapted for sending information from the performance monitoring facility to the data protection manager to cause compliance with the predefined performance criterion in response to the predefined performance criterion being violated.
