Assignee: COMMVAULT SYSTEMS, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying data objects within a dataset, wherein the dataset is associated with a recovery point objective (RPO);
tracking first data objects of the dataset that were successfully backed up in a first backup job of the dataset;
tracking second data objects of the dataset, wherein a failure in the first backup job caused the second data objects not to be backed up in the first backup job;
determining that the second data objects failed to be backed up in the first backup job;
determining a start time of a second backup job for backing up the second data objects that failed to be backed up in the first backup job,
wherein to meet the RPO for the dataset, the start time of the second backup job is accelerated compared to one or more start times of other one or more pending backup jobs,
wherein the start time meets the RPO for the dataset, including the first data objects and the second data objects, and
wherein the start time is based at least in part on failure conditions that caused the failure in the first backup job; 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.
