More Information
Summary:A system and method are provided for backing up and recovering data that allows the data to be modified and backed up even while recovery is still in progress. In some embodiments, the method includes performing a data recovery procedure on a computing system. The data recovery procedure includes identifying a set of data objects stored on a recovery system; retrieving the set of data objects; and storing data of the retrieved set of data objects to at least one storage device. Data objects may be prioritized so that data that is in demand is retrieved first. Data that is modified during the data recovery procedure is tracked and backed up to an object-storage system during the data recovery procedure. In some embodiments, backing up the modified data is part of an incremental backup procedure that excludes data objects that contains only unmodified data.
