Abstract

A computer-implemented method for indexing backup content may include identifying a backup of live data. The computer-implemented method may also include identifying a content index that indexes at least a part of the live data. The computer-implemented method may further include identifying a set of files in the backup that correspond to a set of files indexed by the content index. The computer-implemented method may additionally include indexing the content of the set of files in the backup based on the index information of the set of files indexed by the content index. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
