In this paper, the minimal backup reprovisioning (MBR) problem is studied, in which, the failure-independent path protecting p-cycles (FIPP p-cycles) scheme is considered for single node-failure on WDM networks. After recovering the affected lightpaths from a node failure, the goal of the MBR is to re-arrange the protecting and available resources such that working paths can be protected against next node failure if possible. This is a hard problem, a hybrid algorithm which combines heuristic algorithm and genetic algorithm is proposed to solve this problem. The simulation results of the proposed method are also given.
