Method and system for resuming interrupted database backup operations

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a client protection agent, which when executed by the processor performs a method, the method comprising:
• receiving a user instruction to perform a backup operation on a user asset on a client device;
• determining that a prior backup operation on the user asset was interrupted;
• in response to the determination, generating a data file difference subset using a control file and a recovery catalog, wherein the control file is associated with the user asset and the recovery catalog is associated with at least the prior backup operation;
• and
• initiating the backup operation using the data file difference subset.

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

• receiving a user instruction to perform a backup operation on a user asset on a client device;
• determining that a prior backup operation on the user asset was interrupted;
• in response to the determination, generating a data file difference subset using a control file and a recovery catalog, wherein the control file is associated with the user asset and the recovery catalog is associated with at least the prior backup operation;
• and
• initiating the backup operation using the data file difference subset.
