Abstract
A method and/or computer program product recovers files that are generated by an application running on a client-server system that comprises a back-up client with a client back-up tool and a server with a server back-up tool. Application files are backed up on the server, and then restored to a back-up client based on file usage behavior of the application and their priority, and file stubs are created for remaining files. File usage behavior of the application performing data recovery and regular data processing after said restore process are monitored and analyzed, and files in different types of priority classes are classified based on file usage behavior. Existing file stubs at the back-up client are replaced with corresponding file content from the back-up server during runtime of the application based on predetermined criteria.
