Abstract: A system and method for backing up workloads for multiple tenants of a cloud computing system are disclosed. A method of backing up workloads for multiple tenants of a computing system, includes determining that a first tenant has elected to maintain a copy of backups in an off-site location and a second tenant has elected to not maintain a copy of backups in an off-site location, directing first backup data of the first tenant to a backup storage device within the computing system and to a backup storage device at the off-site location, and directing second backup data of the second tenant to the backup storage device within the computing system, and not to the backup storage device at the off-site location.

Abstract: Backups of workloads in a multi-tenant cloud computing environment are efficiently queued and scheduled. A method of backing up workloads for multiple tenants of a cloud computing system, includes the steps of determining a pool of workloads to be backed up during a time window, the workloads including workloads for a first tenant and workloads for a second tenant, placing a backup task for backing up each of the workloads in the pool in a scheduling queue and prioritizing the backup tasks according to backup parameters specified by the tenants, sizes of workload data to be backed up, and hardware constraints of a backup storage device executing the backups, and instructing the backup storage device to execute the backup tasks according to an order of the backup tasks in the scheduling queue.
