Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A system comprising:
a production host which comprises of:
a processor; and
a memory comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, perform a method for performing a backup comprising:
receiving a request for a backup of an asset associated with a production host, wherein the asset comprises files and folders stored in a file-system of the production host;
in response to the request, retrieving network statistics for a plurality of streams;
determining, based on the network statistics, peak throughput for the plurality of streams;
retrieving meta-data for the asset;
slicing, using the meta-data for the asset, the asset into a plurality of slices;
assigning each of the plurality of slices to one of the plurality of streams in such a way that each stream of the plurality of streams has a similar throughput based on the peak throughput for each of the plurality of streams;
after the assigning:
initiating the backup using the plurality of streams;
storing data transferred in each stream of the plurality of streams to its own backup container, wherein the data comprises files and folder in each slices of the asset assigned to each stream of the plurality of streams;
generating mapping, wherein the mapping maps each file and folder in each slice of the asset stored in the backup container to its original location in the file-system of the production host; and
storing the mapping in meta-data associated with the backup.
