Abstract
One example method includes copying selected backup data from a secondary storage system to a provisioned primary storage volume, creating a snapshot of the primary storage volume, using the snapshot to create a thin clone volume, masking the thin clone volume, and mounting the thin clone volume, and recovering the backup data from the thin clone volume. The recovered backup data may be made available to a secondary workload that includes an enterprise application.
