Systems and methods for facilitating storage operations using network attached storage devices
First Claim
1. A method for protecting data in a storage system, the storage system comprising a management server, a media management component connected to the management server, a plurality of storage media connected to the media management component, and a data source connected to the media management component, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to perform a storage operation for source data stored on the data source;
determining a first data path for the source data from the data source to the network attached storage device;
monitoring a load of the data path; and
determining a second data path for the source data from the data source to the network attached storage device the second data path being distinct from the first data path.
