1. A method for managing data in a storage system, the method comprising:
receiving at a media agent component comprising computer hardware, a request to restore at least one requested data file from a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) Device, wherein the at least one requested data file is restored to a first storage device with a first file management system, and the Network-Attached Storage (NAS) Device comprises a second file management system that is different than the first file management system; directing with the media agent, a file processor to retrieve a data structure from the Network-Attached Storage (NAS) Device, wherein a first data structure is retrieved with the second file management system, the first data structure comprising at least a header, a chunk of data, and a trailer, the header comprising at least a set of file markers that identify a plurality of data files in a chunk of data in the data structure, the trailer comprising at least metadata about the plurality of data files in the chunk of data; obtaining, with the file processor, the at least one requested data file based at least in part on accessing the set of file markers in the header and metadata in the trailer to identify the location of the requested data file in the chunk of data; and restoring the at least one requested data file to the first storage device with the first file management system by transferring the at least one requested data files to the media agent.
