Method, device, and computer program product for managing storage system
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device, and a computer program product for managing a storage system. The method for managing a storage system includes: in response to migration of data from a source storage system to a target storage system, if it is determined that a target client terminal that uses the source storage system to back up data generates data to be backed up, determining whether the amount of data stored in the target storage system for the target client terminal exceeds a threshold; and if it is determined that the amount of data exceeds the threshold, storing the data to be backed up into the target storage system.
