Claim 9:
10. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying data objects within a dataset that comprises first data objects and second data objects, wherein the dataset is associated with a recovery point objective (RPO),
wherein the RPO defines a maximum duration of time measured from when a preceding recoverable backed up data of the dataset was generated;
backing up the first data objects of the dataset in a first backup job of the dataset;
detecting that a failure in the first backup job caused the second data objects of the dataset not to be backed up in the first backup job;
submitting the second data objects of the dataset for backup in a second backup job, wherein the first data objects are not submitted for backup in the second backup job;
determining a start time of the second backup job, wherein the start time of the second backup job is sufficient to complete the second backup job within the RPO,, wherein based on the failure in the first backup job, the second backup job is prioritized over at least one other pending backup job so that the second backup job can meet the RPO; and
in the second backup job starting at the start time, backing up the second data objects that failed to be backed up in the first backup job.
