ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for recovering data from a backup copy and for backing up data. When a recovery operation is initiated, recovery items are selected from backup groupings of the client. The recovery items can include backup groupings, writers, and writer components. After the recovery items are selected, backed up metadata for each selected writer is retrieved from the backed up data. The backed up metadata is then queried to identify the restore method of the writer. The data of the client is then recovered by implementing the restore method included in the backed up metadata of the writer. During a backup operation, some of the backup groupings, as well as the content of the backup groupings, can be individually selected for backup. In both backup and recovery, a visual indication may be provided to identify individual selectability.
