ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for restoring data in a file system are disclosed. In one method, a backup copy of a first file to be restored may be identified, the location of the backup copy may be determined, the original location of the first file within the file system may be determined, and the first file may be restored by copying the backup copy of the first file to the original location of the first file within the file system. The backup copy of the first file may comprise a copy of contents of the first file and a file header comprising file-location information that identifies the original location of at least a portion of the first file within the file system. Exemplary computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions for restoring data are also disclosed.
