Extended recovery of an exported database

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a backup host operating in a foreign database recovery environment, a database from a source host in a native database recovery environment;
• receiving export information at the backup host, the export information indicating a target host in the native database recovery environment;
• generating, at the backup host, script information based on the export information, the script information comprising scripts to facilitate exporting the database from the backup host to the target host;
• materializing file information comprising snapshots of the database and incremental changes to the database;
• and
• communicating the file information and the script information from the backup host operating in the foreign database recovery environment to the target host in the native database recovery environment to enable the target host to recover the database in the native database recovery environment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:

• receive, at a backup host operating in a foreign database recovery environment, a database from a source host in a native database recovery environment;
• receive export information at the backup host, the export information indicating a target host in the native database recovery environment;
• generate, at the backup host, script information based on the export information, the script information comprising scripts to facilitate exporting the database from the backup host to the target host;
• materialize file information comprising snapshots of the database and incremental changes to the database;
• and
• communicate the file information and the script information from the backup host operating in the foreign database recovery environment to the target host in the native database recovery environment to enable the target host to recover the database in the native database recovery environment.
