The invention relates to a method for adaptively assigning of a plurality of data management application instances (DM instances) building up a data management application (DM application) to a plurality of data objects (folders, files, data extents or parts of files, or other logical grouped data) organized in a tree structure, the method comprising the steps of: providing sets of separation points for each of the DM instances, each separation point defining at least one sub-section of the tree which is assigned to the corresponding DM instance to perform a data management task, storage of history data being descriptive of the data objects which have been affected by a previous data management task, determining a processing load for past data management tasks of each of the DM instances based on the history data, adapting the separation points in the tree for balancing the processing loads of the DM instances of future data management tasks. |
