In some examples, a computing device may include a physical processor that executes machine readable instructions that cause the computing device to obtain, from the system, an actual value of a backup parameter for each backup parameter of a set of backup parameters. Each backup parameter may have a predefined threshold for the backup parameter. Execution of the machine readable instructions may further cause the computing device to determine a weightage for the backup parameter based on the predefined threshold and the actual value. The weightage may indicate a degree of contribution of the backup parameter for determining the type of backup to be executed in the system, and execution of the machine readable instructions may cause the computing device to determine the type of backup based on the weightage and the actual value of each backup parameter of the set of backup parameters.
