System, method, and computer program for making data restorable to a cloud-based application

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a computer program, that, when executed by a computer system, enables the computer system to perform the following steps for restoring extracted data to a cloud-based application, the steps comprising:

• extracting a copy of data associated with a cloud-based application, wherein a limitation to an API for the cloud-based application requires the extracted data to be altered prior to restoring the extracted data to the cloud-based application;
• providing a user interface that enables a user to enter a restoration flow for restoring the extracted data to the cloud-based application, wherein the restoration flow includes one or more routines for execution;
• receiving a restoration flow comprising a pre-restoration routine and a restoration routine, wherein the pre-restoration routine specifies one or more data transformations to render the extracted data compatible with a restoration to the cloud-based application, wherein one of the one or more data transformations comprises altering the extracted data to be compatible with the API;
• executing the pre-restoration routine to transform the extracted data to be compatible with a restoration to the cloud-based application;
• and
• executing the restoration routine to restore the transformed data to the cloud-based application.

A computer system for restoring extracted data to a cloud-based application, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memory units coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the one or more memory units store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform the operations of:
• extracting a copy of data associated with a cloud-based application, wherein a limitation to an API for the cloud-based application requires the extracted data to be altered prior to restoring the extracted data to the cloud-based application;
• providing a user interface that enables a user to enter a restoration flow for restoring the extracted data to the cloud-based application, wherein the restoration flow includes one or more routines for execution;
• receiving a restoration flow comprising a pre-restoration routine and a restoration routine, wherein the pre-restoration routine specifies one or more data transformations to render the extracted data compatible with a restoration to the cloud-based application, wherein one of the one or more data transformations comprises altering the extracted data to be compatible with the API;
• executing the pre-restoration routine to transform the extracted data to be compatible with a restoration to the cloud-based application;
• and
• executing the restoration routine to restore the transformed data to the cloud-based application.
