Patent attributes
Techniques are disclosed for preventing a user from configuring a service level agreement from creating a data management schedule that creates a set of data backups that exceeds data resource limits available for storing the set of data backups. A first amount of pool resources associated with the backup of each of the at least one application is determined according to a received schedule. A first amount of data volumes associated with the backup of each of the at least one application is determined according to the received schedule. A resource shortage warning is transmitted when the aggregate amount of pool resources exceeds an available amount of pool resources or the aggregate amount of data volume resource exceeds an available amount of data volume resource, thereby preventing a user from configuring a service level agreement that exceeds data resource limits.
