BACKUP AND NON-STAGED RECOVERY OF VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Methods for creating backup of data of a virtual environment to allow non-staged recovery are described. The described method may include receiving data of a virtual environment through one or more data streams for backup. The method also includes generating metadata corresponding to the received data and storing the received data at a first location of a backup storage unit. Further, the method includes storing the generated metadata at a second location of the backup storage unit, where the second location is different from the first location of the backup storage unit. The method further includes mapping the at least one predefined file to the stored data to create a mapping table to allow direct access to the stored data for non-staged recovery.

1. A method for creating backup of data of a virtual environment to allow non-staged recovery, the method comprising:
receiving the data of the virtual environment through one or more data streams for backup, wherein the data includes at least one predefined file of at least one virtual machine (VM); generating metadata corresponding to the received data, wherein the metadata is indicative of properties of the received data; storing the received data at a first location of a backup storage unit; storing the generated metadata at a second location of the backup storage unit, wherein the second location is different from the first location of the backup storage unit; and mapping the at least one predefined file to the stored data to create a mapping table which allows direct access to the stored data for non-staged recovery.
