Abstract

Described is a system for management of specialized files used for a backup restore. The system may allow for an automated recovery to be performed without having to manually identify critical information required to perform a restore of a particular backup within a backup chain. This information may include a control file and a parameter file. A backup agent may store such information within specialized objects that are stored as part of metadata managed by a backup agent to provide an additional layer of recover capability and efficiency. This information may then be leveraged for retrieval during a restore operation, for example, in a disaster recovery scenario.
