Methods and systems for speeding up data recovery

摘要

A method for providing recovery from a remote server to a client includes sending at least one data restore request to the remote server. A data block identifier are received at the client system via a network. A data block associated with the data block identifier is retrieved from a local backup server associated with the client system if the local back up server stores the data block. The data block associated with the data block identifier is received from the remote server if the local backup server does not store the data block. The data block is restored to the client system.
