Abstract
A method for restoring applications may include: 1) identifying an installation file that includes an application; 2) monitoring the installation file to identify a set of application files generated as a result of installing the application from the installation file; 3) assigning, to each application file in the set of application files, an application identifier that associates each application file in the set of application files with the application; 4) backing up the application by copying each application file in the set of application files to a backup storage system; 5) receiving a request to restore each application file in the set of application files; and 6) restoring the application by using the application identifier to locate each application file in the set of application files within the backup storage system. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
