Exporting a database to a native database recovery environment

A method comprising:

• receiving file information and script information, over a network, via directories on a target host operating in a native database recovery environment, the file information and the script information being received from a backup host, the backup host utilizing foreign snapshot files and foreign incremental files for storing the file information, the file information including native snapshot files and native incremental files, the script information including scripts for recovering a database in the native database recovery environment, the database being exported from the foreign database recovery environment to the native database recovery environment for recovery in the native database recovery environment to a point-in-time, the receiving being processed by one or more processors;
• the target host executing the scripts to perform operations comprising:
• mounting the directories;
• opening the database;
• restoring the database based on the native snapshot files;
• recovering the database based on the native incremental files, the recovering including applying incremental changes to the database to recover the database to the point-in-time;
• and
• unmounting the directories.

A machine-storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes a machine to perform operations comprising:

• receiving file information and script information, over a network, via directories on a target host operating in a native database recovery environment, the file information and the script information being received from a backup host, the backup host utilizing foreign snapshot files and foreign incremental files for storing the file information, the file information including native snapshot files and native incremental files, the script information including scripts for recovering a database in the native database recovery environment, the database being exported from the foreign database recovery environment to the native database recovery environment for recovery in the native database recovery environment to a point-in-time;
• the target host executing the scripts to perform operations comprising:
• mounting the directories;
• opening the database;
• restoring the database based on the native snapshot files;
• recovering the database based on the native incremental files, the recovering including applying incremental changes to the database to recover the database to the point-in-time;
• and
• unmounting the directories.
