Abstract
A system identifies a storage device that stores a computer cluster's database and a storage device that stores the computer cluster's transaction logs. The system creates a snapshot of the storage device that stores the database and/or a snapshot of the storage device that stores the transaction logs. The system mounts at least one snapshot on any host that is accessible to the data management system's native interface. The system enables the native interface to catalog a database recovery name created for the database snapshot and/or a transaction log recovery name created for the transaction logs snapshot. The system enables recovery of the database and/or the transaction logs by storing a mapping from the database recovery name to a database backup identifier created for the database snapshot and/or a mapping from the transaction log recovery name to a transaction log backup identifier created for the transaction logs snapshot.
