Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: identifying, by a processor, a first restoration device included in a plurality of restoration devices associated with a cloud storage system, wherein the first restoration device is paired with a first source container during a first time period, and wherein data stored by the first source container is copied to the first restoration device during the first time period based on the first restoration device being paired with the first source container; determining, by the processor, that a second source container is storing data to be backed up during a second time period that is subsequent to the first time period; pairing, by the processor, the second source container with the first restoration device during the second time period based on determining that the second source container is storing data to be backed up during the second time period, wherein data stored by the first source container is not copied to the first restoration device during the second time period based on the first restoration device being paired with the second source container; generating, by the processor, a first command based on pairing the second source container with the first restoration device, wherein the first command causes data stored at the second source container, during the second time period, to be copied to the first restoration device; determining, by the processor, a first cycle time for copying the data stored at the second source container to the first restoration device; and modifying, by the processor, the first command when the first cycle time is greater than a threshold value.
