Abstract: The retrieval of files can be facilitated in real-time in the general context of backup and recovery. A processor can receive a request to retrieve a particular volume of data from an object storage database. A virtual volume can be presented to an emulator for creation of a virtual machine representing the particular volume of data. A request can be received to access a particular file from the particular volume of data at a specific point in time. In response to the request to access the file, the data stream can be paused, the particular file can be fetched, and the particular file can be transmitted to the emulator.

Abstract: A system for providing real-time streaming of data in non-POSIX formats to systems in POSIX formats in the general context of system backup and recovery. The system uses an index to manage storage and retrieval of data in non-POSIX formats. While retrieving the backup, the system presents a virtual volume to a hypervisor or other similar device to create a virtual machine that allows the user to make read or write requests with respect to the backup before it is completely restored. The system merges any changes to the virtual volume, due to write requests, with the complete, backed-up volume. In one embodiment, a system backup is stored in object storage and can be recovered in real-time, allowing a user to access and use the system before it has finished recovering.
