Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and method for selectively restoring a computer system to an operational state. In an exemplary aspect, the method may create a backup image of the computer system comprising a set of data blocks and may store the backup image of the computer system in an archive storage database. The method may determine a subset of the data blocks of the backup image that are required to keep the computer system operational. In response to determining that the computer system should be restored, the method may restore the subset of the data blocks such that the computer system is operational during startup, and may restore a remaining set of the data blocks from the backup image after the startup of the computer system.
