Abstract
In one embodiment, automated storage target selection includes automatically selecting a storage node of a plurality of candidate storage nodes as a function of a plurality of selection criteria. Further, a backup data object is transmitted to the selected storage node. In one embodiment, selecting a storage node includes retrieving stored user-defined parameters for selection criteria for selecting a storage node, retrieving storage node-defined parameters for selection criteria, comparing user-defined parameters and storage node-defined parameters, and selecting a storage node as a function of the comparing. In another aspect of the present description, comparing user-defined parameters and storage node-defined parameters includes broadening a first user-defined parameter to a second user-defined parameter broader than the first user-defined parameter if no candidate storage nodes have a storage node-defined parameter within the first user-defined parameter. Other features and aspects may be realized, depending upon the particular application.
