Abstract
In one example, a method includes receiving, at a datacenter, a request from a client, where the request identifies a data range required by an application residing at the client, and the data range embraces less than all the contents of a file, backed up at the datacenter, with which the data range is associated. The example method further includes accessing the data in the data range, and transmitting data in the data range to the client, where the data transmitted to the client from the datacenter comprises respective portions of multiple incremental backups stored at the datacenter.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a datacenter, a request from a client, where the request identifies a data range required by an application residing at the client, and wherein the data range embraces less than all the contents of a file, backed up at the datacenter, with which the data range is associated;
- accessing the data in the data range;
- and
- transmitting data in the data range to the client, wherein the data transmitted to the client from the datacenter comprises respective portions of multiple incremental backups stored at the datacenter.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein computer-executable instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, perform the following operations:
- receiving, at a datacenter, a request from a client, where the request identifies a data range required by an application residing at the client, and wherein the data range embraces less than all the contents of a file, backed up at the datacenter, with which the data range is associated;
- accessing the data in the data range;
- and
- transmitting data in the data range to the client, wherein the data transmitted to the client from the datacenter comprises respective portions of multiple incremental backups stored at the datacenter.
