Abstract
Systems and methods for data recovery, backup and catalog generation are described. In part, the disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for generating a data catalog includes creating a current backup archive; obtaining access to a Master File Table (MFT), or other index table such as an Inode Table, of the current backup archive and a MFT, or other index table such as an Inode Table, of a previous backup archive; comparing each entry in the MFT, or Inode Table, of the current backup to each entry of the MFT, or Inode Table, of the previous backup to identify one or more differences in the current backup archive; and saving one or more of the differences into the data catalog of the current backup archive.
