Abstract:
A method for efficiently managing extents of backup volumes in a tiered storage system is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes identifying a lifespan associated with a backup volume. The lifespan indicates how long extents of the backup volume are retained in a tiered storage system before being released. The method further assigns a temperature value to the extents that determines where the extents are stored in the tiered storage system. The method utilizes the lifespan to determine the temperature value, where the temperature value is inversely proportional to the lifespan. The method places the extents on tiers of the tiered storage system in accordance with their temperature value, such that higher temperature extents are placed on higher tiers of the tiered storage system, and lower temperature extents are placed on lower tiers of the tiered storage system. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 16):
The system of  claim 15 , wherein the temperature value is represented in terms of data writes per day (DWPD) divided by the lifespan in days.
