Abstract
According to one embodiment, one or more consistent states of a virtual machine (VM) are backed up and stored. An index library is used to extract, from the consistent state(s) of the VM, metadata corresponding to content files captured in the consistent state(s). The extracted metadata is stored into a metadata catalog, where the metadata catalog is subsequently downloaded by an index server to index the content files captured in the consistent state(s).
