Method and system for maintaining live database data across hybrid storage

A non-transitory computer readable medium (CRM) comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor, enables the computer processor to:

• live-mount at least a portion of a backup asset onto a client device;
• while remote access operations to the at least portion of the backup asset are being performed:
• identify a first hot backup asset data file copy of the at least portion of the backup asset;
• and
• recover the first hot backup asset data file copy onto the client device, while retaining a first remainder of the at least portion of the backup asset on a backup storage system.

A system, comprising:

• a backup asset residing on a backup storage system;
• and
• a client device operatively connected to the backup storage system, and comprising a computer processor on which a client mounting agent and a client recovery agent are executing,
• wherein the client mounting agent is configured to:
• live-mount at least a portion of the backup asset onto the client device,
• wherein, while remote access operations to the at least portion of the backup asset are being performed, the client recovery agent is configured to:
• identify a hot backup asset data file copy of the at least portion of the backup asset;
• and
• recover the hot backup asset data file copy onto the client device, while a remainder of the at least portion of the backup asset is retained on the backup storage system.
