Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for efficiently sharing assets such as files and folders between a host computer system and a client computer system while minimizing the amount of work the client must perform to efficiently transfer an asset. In one or more embodiments, assets such as files and folders that are to be shared or transferred are placed in appropriate network slice queues by the hosts rather than the clients. These network slice queues allow the files and folders to be placed in slices without utilizing the resources of the clients as well as much of the available network resources. This ensures efficient use of network resources, while minimizing the amount of work the hosts and/or clients must perform in order to perform a backup.
