Abstract
One example method includes creating a copy of a dataset, wherein the dataset is a backup that was previously created and stored. The copy of the dataset may be a clone, or a snapshot. The method further includes indexing a portion of the copy, mounting the copy at a proxy, associating the index with data in the copy, storing the index, and then using the index to search the copy. The search may be performed in response to a request from a user.
Claims19
A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions which are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- creating a copy of a dataset, wherein the dataset comprises data generated by one or more applications at a host device;
- mounting the entire copy at a proxy host;
- after the copy is mounted at the proxy host, creating an index by indexing the entire mounted copy;
- associating the index with a portion of data in the copy by creating a reference object between the index and the portion of data;
- storing the index;
- storing the reference object with either the index or the copy;
- obtaining a data differential between the copy and a subsequent copy created after the copy, the data differential identifying one or more changed blocks that have changed between the copy and the subsequent copy;
- mapping the data differential to an affected database region and/or file system volume, and the mapping comprises a reverse mapping process comprising using respective IDs of the changed blocks to identify a portion of the index affected by changes associated with the changed blocks, and the respective IDs are obtained from a storage array at which the dataset is stored;
- and
- updating the index to map to the changed blocks.
