Abstract
File metadata of a virtual machine can be generated when performing a backup of a virtual machine. A backup copy of the virtual machine and the file metadata can be stored in a backup storage system. The file metadata can be retrieved from the storage system in a manner that is decoupled from the performance of the backup of the virtual machine. The file metadata can be used for searching for files within the backup copy of the virtual machine.
