AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, determining the remaining storage space size through metadata files stored on the server is inaccurate, leading to enterprises allocating backup data to the server inappropriately.

Method used

By receiving target metadata and performing character matching, the storage address of the target data is determined, and the remaining storage space of the server is determined based on the space occupied by the target data, thus avoiding reliance on the data size in the metadata for estimation.

Benefits of technology

This allows for a more accurate determination of the server's remaining storage space, avoiding unreasonable data allocation and improving the accuracy of data backup and resource utilization efficiency.

Abstract

This application relates to a data backup method, apparatus, computer equipment, storage medium, and computer program product. The method includes: after receiving target metadata corresponding to target data to be backed up on the target server from the target server, the server performs character matching on the target metadata to obtain a matching result; since character matching is performed to find the storage address of the target data recorded in the target metadata, if a target character corresponding to the storage address is matched, the storage address of the target data can be determined; the server may further obtain the occupied space information of the target data from the corresponding storage address on the target server based on the matched storage address of the target data. This application can more accurately determine the remaining storage space size of the target server.
