Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
by one or more hardware processors:
displaying to a user a choice of (i) a first backup frequency for a data source, wherein a first data protection plan comprises the first backup frequency, and (ii) a second backup frequency for the data source, wherein a second data protection plan comprises the second backup frequency;
based on receiving a selection of the second backup frequency responsive to the choice, associating the data source with the second data protection plan;
wherein the second data protection plan references a first data center and also references a second data center, wherein the first data center is located in a first region, wherein the first data center comprises first data processing resources and first data storage resources, wherein the second data center is located in a second region, wherein the second data center comprises second data processing resources and second data storage resources, and wherein the first data protection plan references the first data center and also references the second data center;
based on determining that the data source is located within the first region and further that the second data protection plan references the first data center in the first region, associating the data source with the first data center; and
based on the second backup frequency, initiating a data protection job of the data source, wherein the data protection job uses one or more of the first data processing resources of the first data center to generate one or more secondary copies of the data source, which are stored at one or more of the first data storage resources of the first data center.
