A resolve agent contains a read-only file system, which can interpret file data structures stored on a backup medium according to one or more operating system file systems. The resolve agent provides an interface for communicating with the resolve agent. A restore agent provides the resolve agent with name(s) of file(s) to be restored from the backup medium. The resolve agent reads portions of the file data structures on the backup medium to locate extents of the file(s) to be restored, i.e. the resolve agent ascertains locations that are to be copied from the backup medium. The resolve agent provides the contents of these locations (or their addresses) to the restore agent, which writes the contents (or copies the extents from the backup medium) to a storage device. |
