the present invention relates to a computerized method and respective system for servicing a request for a networked data transfer from a client system , which is able to be serviced on a particular server system being a member of a plurality of server systems dedicated to service said client requests , in which the server systems are connected via a network and share information about a plurality of client systems , and in which the service is known to consume some non - negligible network bandwidth . in order to balance required bandwidth peaks and to improve user comfort , it is proposed to establish an inter - server communication , which determines the best suited server for providing the service , reflecting pre - collected client history data , favorite service provision times , etc . the method can be applied primarily for backup of data from distributed client systems , or for improving print services .
