Abstract
This disclosure relates to a method, article of manufacture, and apparatus of restoring a database allowing simultaneous full and incremental backups. In some embodiments, this includes receiving, by a server, a request for restoring as of a restore point-in-time, in response to the request, retrieving by the server a set of backup objects, sorting the set of backup objects in descending order, locating a first incremental backup in the set of backup objects based on the restore point-in-time and a first incremental backup start time associated with the first incremental backup, locating a full backup in the set of backup objects based on the first incremental backup start time, a full backup start time and a full backup end time associated with the full backup, storing the full backup and the first incremental backup in a list of restoring objects, and sending, by the server, the list of restoring objects.
