Abstract
A method for performing a restore operation includes identifying a full backup associated with a first client device nearest a target restore time. The method further includes identifying a set of log backups that includes a first log backup that encompasses the target restore time and all log backups between the full backup and the first log backup. The method also includes identifying a target volume to which the full backup and all log backups are to be restored, and the target volume is on a second client device separate from the first client device. Moreover, the method includes restoring the full backup and the set of log backups to the target volume. In addition, the method includes mounting, after the restoring, the target volume to a target file system. Further, the method includes performing a native client restoration mechanism to the target restore time using the target file system.
