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 create and start a virtual machine based on the backup image. The method may identify a subset of the data blocks accessed from the backup image during startup of the virtual machine. 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 restore a remaining set of the data blocks from the backup image after the startup of the computer system.
