Abstract
A system and method for managing data in a computer system. A backup server is configured to harvest data indicative of logical relationships among data entries in a backup data set. The harvested data and backup data set are stored on a backup medium. Catalog entries are created for both the backup data set and the harvested data. The computer system allows a user to browse the backup catalog, including the logical structure of the content of a particular backup data set. The user may select particular items for restoration from the catalog. In response, the server restores the backup data set and harvested data to a temporary location, identifies data in the harvested data which corresponds to the user's selections, searches the backup data set for the selected items, and initiates restoration of the selected items.
