Abstract

A method for processing backup policy generation requests includes receiving, by a production agent manager, a backup policy generation request, in response to receiving the backup policy generation request: identifying a backup to transfer to a backup storage, wherein the backup comprises a plurality of data blocks, performing a data storage device evaluation on a set of data storage devices to obtain a set of health scores, wherein each health score of the set of health scores corresponds to a data storage device of the set of data storage devices, assigning, based on the set of health scores, a production agent to a data storage device of the set of data storage devices to generate a backup policy, and initiating, based on the backup policy, a deployment of the production agent to the data storage device.

in response to receiving the backup policy generation request:

identifying a backup to transfer to a backup storage,

wherein the backup comprises a plurality of data blocks;

performing, based on a shapely additive explanation (SHAP) model, a data storage device evaluation on a set of data storage devices to obtain a set of health scores,

wherein each health score of the set of health scores corresponds to a data storage device of the set of data storage devices;

assigning, based on the set of health scores, a production agent to a data storage device of the set of data storage devices to generate a backup policy; and

initiating, based on the backup policy, a deployment of the production agent to the data storage device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing, based on the SHAP model, the data storage device evaluation comprises:

identifying a first set of data storage device parameters for a first data storage device;

performing an interaction analysis on the first set of data storage device parameters to obtain interaction values for the first data storage device;

identifying a second set of data storage device parameters for a second data storage device;

performing a second interaction analysis on the second set of data storage device parameters to obtain second interaction values for the second data storage device;

generating a compound parameter data structure using the first interaction values and the second interaction values; and

generating the set of health scores based on the compound parameter data structure.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first set of data storage device parameters comprises at least one of: a status of the data storage device, whether the data storage device is part of a cluster, a measurement of consumed processing power, a version of a virtual machine file system, a type of storage device, and a total storage capacity.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first set of data storage device parameters further comprises a total number of virtual machines assigned to the data storage device.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first set of data storage device parameters further comprises a total number of production agents assigned to the data storage device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein assigning the production agent to the data storage device comprises:

ranking each data storage device in the set of data storage devices based on the set of health scores;

making a determination that the data storage device is the highest ranked; and

based on the determination, assigning the production agent to the data storage device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein initiating the production agent deployment comprises enabling the production agent to utilize computing resources of the data storage device.

8. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

memory comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving a backup policy generation request;

in response to receiving the backup policy generation request:

identifying a backup to transfer to a backup storage, wherein the backup comprises a plurality of data blocks;

performing, based on a shapely additive explanation (SHAP) model, a data storage device evaluation on a set of data storage devices to obtain a set of health scores, wherein each health score of the set of health scores corresponds to a data storage device of the set of data storage devices;

assigning, based on the set of health scores, a production agent to a data storage device of the set of data storage devices to generate a backup policy; and

initiating, based on the backup policy, a deployment of the production agent to the data storage device.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein performing, based on the SHAP model, the data storage device evaluation comprises:

identifying a first set of data storage device parameters for a first data storage device;

performing an interaction analysis on the first set of data storage device parameters to obtain interaction values for the first data storage device;

identifying a second set of data storage device parameters for a second data storage device;

performing a second interaction analysis on the second set of data storage device parameters to obtain second interaction values for the second data storage device;

generating a compound parameter data structure using the first interaction values and the second interaction values; and

generating the set of health scores based on the compound parameter data structure.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first set of data storage device parameters comprises at least one of: a status of the data storage device, whether the data storage device is part of a cluster, a measurement of consumed processing power, a version of a virtual machine file system, a type of storage device, and a total storage capacity.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first set of data storage device parameters further comprises a total number of virtual machines assigned to the data storage device.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first set of data storage device parameters further comprises a total number of production agents assigned to the data storage device.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein assigning the production agent to the data storage device comprises:

ranking each data storage device in the set of data storage devices based on the set of health scores;

making a determination that the data storage device is the highest ranked; and

based on the determination, assigning the production agent to the data storage device.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein initiating the production agent deployment comprises enabling the production agent to utilize computing resources of the data storage device.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

receiving, by a production agent manager, a backup policy generation request;

in response to receiving the backup policy generation request:

identifying a backup to transfer to a backup storage, wherein the backup comprises a plurality of data blocks;

performing, based on a shapely additive explanation (SHAP) model, a data storage device evaluation on a set of data storage devices to obtain a set of health scores, wherein each health score of the set of health scores corresponds to a data storage device of the set of data storage devices;

assigning, based on the set of health scores, a production agent to a data storage device of the set of data storage devices to generate a backup policy; and

initiating, based on the backup policy, a deployment of the production agent to the data storage device.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein performing, based on the SHAP model, the data storage device evaluation comprises:

identifying a first set of data storage device parameters for a first data storage device;

performing an interaction analysis on the first set of data storage device parameters to obtain interaction values for the first data storage device;

identifying a second set of data storage device parameters for a second data storage device;
