Utilizing a tablespace to export from a foreign database recovery environment

A method comprising:

• receiving a database from a source host operating in a native database recovery environment, the database being received at a backup host operating in a foreign database recovery environment, the foreign database recovery environment utilizing foreign snapshot files and foreign incremental files for restoring the database;
• receiving export information at the backup host, the export information including a tablespace identifier and a point-in-time that identifies a tablespace including file information for export from the backup host to the source host operating in the native database recovery environment, the receiving the export information being performed by at least one processor;
• initiating a job, on the backup host, responsive to receiving the export information, the job executing to perform operations further comprising:
• generating script information based on the export information, the script information including scripts including logic for execution on the source host to recover the tablespace, at the point-in-time, in the database on the source host in the native database recovery environment;
• creating one or more directories on the backup host based on the export information;
• materializing the file information on the backup host, the file information including snapshots of the database and incremental changes to the database, the file information to facilitate creation of an auxiliary database on the source host;
• and
• communicating the file information and the script information, via the directories, and over a network, to the source host, the directories and the script information enabling the source host to recover the tablespace, at the point-in-time, in the database on the source host in the native database recovery environment.

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

• receiving a database from a source host operating in a native database recovery environment, the database being received at a backup host operating in a foreign database recovery environment, the foreign database recovery environment utilizing foreign snapshot files and foreign incremental files for restoring the database;
• receiving export information at the backup host, the export information including a tablespace identifier and a point-in-time that identifies a tablespace including file information for export from the backup host to the source host operating in the native database recovery environment;
• initiating a job, on the backup host, responsive to receiving the export information, the job executing to perform operations further comprising:
• generating script information based on the export information, the script information including scripts including logic for execution on the source host to recover the tablespace, at the point-in-time, in the database on the source host in the native database recovery environment;
• creating one or more directories on the backup host based on the export information;
• materializing the file information on the backup host, the file information including snapshots of the database and incremental changes to the database, the file information to facilitate creation of an auxiliary database on the source host;
• and
• communicating the file information and the script information, via the directories, and over a network, to the source host, the directories and the script information enabling the source host to recover the tablespace, at the point-in-time, in the database on the source host in the native database recovery environment.
