Methods and systems for determining backup schedules

1. A method for generating a container backup schedule to perform a backup, comprising:

receiving, by a scheduling agent, an event entry specifying an event associated with a container;

making a first determination that the event entry specifies an alert event;

adding, based on the first determination, the event entry to a plurality of historical event entries in a historical event repository;

making a second determination that the plurality of historical event entries indicates a repeating error state of the container;

making a third determination, based on the second determination, that an error frequency of the repeating error state is greater than an existing backup frequency of the container backup schedule;

generating, based on the third determination, a container backup schedule warning indicating a recommended backup frequency;

updating the container backup schedule from the existing backup frequency to the recommended backup frequency; and

performing the backup based on the container backup schedule.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein making the first determination that the event entry specifies the alert event comprises:

matching at least a portion of the event entry to alert event data associated with the alert event.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the event entry indicates a container error at a first time, wherein the plurality of historical event entries comprises a second historical event entry that indicates a second container error at a second time.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the error frequency is based on the first time and the second time.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the recommended backup frequency is greater than the error frequency.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the container backup schedule warning comprises:

issuing the container backup schedule warning to a user interface.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computer processor, enables the computer processor to perform a method for generating a container backup schedule to perform a backup, comprising:

receiving, by a scheduling agent, an event entry specifying an event associated with a container;

making a first determination that the event entry specifies an alert event;

adding, based on the first determination, the event entry to a plurality of historical event entries in a historical event repository;

making a second determination that the plurality of historical event entries indicates a repeating error state of the container;

making a third determination, based on the second determination, that an error frequency of the repeating error state is greater than an existing backup frequency of the container backup schedule;

generating, based on the third determination, a container backup schedule warning indicating a recommended backup frequency;

updating the container backup schedule from the existing backup frequency to the recommended backup frequency; and

initiating the backup based on the container backup schedule.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein making the first determination that the event entry specifies the alert event comprises:

matching at least a portion of the event entry to alert event data associated with the alert event.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the event entry indicates a container error at a first time, wherein the plurality of historical event entries comprises a second historical event entry that indicates a second container error at a second time.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the error frequency is based on the first time and the second time.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the recommended backup frequency is greater than the error frequency.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein generating the container backup schedule warning comprises:

issuing the container backup schedule warning to a user interface.

13. A backup manager, comprising:

memory; and

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform a method, comprising:

receiving, by a scheduling agent, an event entry specifying an event associated with a container;

making a first determination that the event entry specifies an alert event;

adding, based on the first determination, the event entry to a plurality of historical event entries in a historical event repository;

making a second determination that the plurality of historical event entries indicates a repeating error state of the container;

making a third determination, based on the second determination, that an error frequency of the repeating error state is greater than an existing backup frequency of a container backup schedule;

generating, based on the third determination, a container backup schedule warning indicating a recommended backup frequency;

updating the container backup schedule from the existing backup frequency to the recommended backup frequency; and

initiating a backup based on the container backup schedule.

14. The backup manager of claim 13 , wherein making the first determination that the event entry specifies the alert event comprises:

matching at least a portion of the event entry to alert event data associated with the alert event.

15. The backup manager of claim 13 , wherein the event entry indicates a container error at a first time, wherein the plurality of historical event entries comprises a second historical event entry that indicates a second container error at a second time.

16. The backup manager of claim 15 , wherein the error frequency is based on the first time and the second time.

17. The backup manager of claim 16 , wherein the recommended backup frequency is greater than the error frequency.

18. The backup manager of claim 13 , wherein generating the container backup schedule warning comprises:

issuing the container backup schedule warning to a user interface.
