Abstract
A backup storage includes a persistent storage and a backup manager. The persistent storage stores virtual machine level backups and application level backups. The backup manager obtains a request for a point in time restoration of an application; identifies, based on the application, a virtual machine level backup of the virtual machine level backups that is associated with: a virtual machine that hosted an instance of the application and a first point in time prior to a restoration point in time specified by the request for the point in time restoration; identifies, based on the application, an application level backup of the application level backups that is associated with the restoration point in time; generates a point in time backup using: the identified virtual machine level backup, and the identified application level backup; and services the request using the point in time backup.
