Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for generating full backups of applications may include (1) storing, at a backup server that is remote from an application, an initial full backup of the application that indicates an initial version of each data block within the application, (2) after storing the full backup of the application, receiving, from the application, an incremental log file generated by the application that indicates at least one change made to a data block within the application after the initial full backup of the application was generated, and (3) creating, by applying the change made to the data block within the application to the initial full backup of the application, an updated full backup of the application that indicates the most current version of each data block within the application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
