Extended recovery of a database exported to a native database recovery environment

A method comprising:

• communicating a database from a source host operating in a native database recovery environment, the database being communicated to a backup host operating in a foreign database recovery environment, the foreign database recovery environment including foreign snapshot files and foreign incremental files that are utilized for storing the database, the communicating being performed by one or more processors;
• receiving file information and script information, via directories, over a network, at the source host, the file information and the script information being received from the backup host, the backup host utilizing foreign snapshot files and foreign incremental files for storing the database in the foreign database recovery environment, the file information including native snapshot files and native incremental files, the scripts executing, at the source host, to perform operations including:
• restoring the database based on the native snapshot files;
• recovering the database based on the native incremental files to a point-in- time;
• causing an identification of changes to the database after the point-in-time;
• and
• causing a recovering of the database based on the changes to the database after the point-in-time.

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

• communicating a database from a source host operating in a native database recovery environment, the database being communicated to a backup host operating in a foreign database recovery environment, the foreign database recovery environment including foreign snapshot files and foreign incremental files that are utilized for storing the database;
• receiving file information and script information, via directories, over a network, at the source host, the file information and the script information being received from the backup host, the backup host utilizing foreign snapshot files and foreign incremental files for storing the database in the foreign database recovery environment, the file information including native snapshot tiles and native incremental files, the scripts executing, at the source host, to perform operations including:
• restoring the database based on the native snapshot files;
• recovering the database based on the native incremental files to a point-in-time;
• causing an identification of changes to the database after the point-in-time;
• and
• causing a recovering of the database based on the changes to the database after the point-in-time.
