Various techniques for coordinating the resource allocation and management capabilities of a backup application with the power saving features provided by a storage array are disclosed. One method involves accessing power management information associated with a logical storage unit (LSU) and image property information that indicates a future pattern of access to a backup image. The method also involves selecting the LSU, based upon both the power management information and the image property information, and then causing the backup image to be written to the LSU. Another method, performed by a backup module, involves receiving power management information associated with a storage array, selecting a logical storage unit (LSU) implemented on the storage array, based upon the power management information, and performing a backup storage management operation on the LSU, in response to selecting the LSU.
