Abstract
Techniques for providing direct access to backup data can include: receiving a selection of a backup of a file system, wherein the backup is stored on a backup system connected to a data storage system; creating, in accordance with said selection of the backup, a remote copy of the backup, wherein the remote copy is stored on the backup system; generating a proxy file system for the remote copy on the backup system, wherein the proxy file system is mapped by the data storage system to the remote copy on the backup system; and providing a host with direct access to the remote copy using the proxy file system.
