    generating one or more primary weighting factors associated with the usage of the one or more primary storage devices;

    generating one or more secondary weighting factors associated with the usage of the one or more secondary storage devices;

    determining a data protection service level based at least in part on the one or more primary weighting factors and based at least in part on the one or more secondary weighting factors; and
