Publication number: 20130238872Abstract: A system and method of managing stored data in a storage management system. The storage management system includes a storage manager, a media agent connected to the storage manager, and a primary volume connected to the media agent. Multiple snapshots are taken of the primary volume. The snapshots are indexed by associating respective information with the snapshot. The indexed snapshots are copied to a recovery volume. In this way, browsing features are enabled for the user. The user may view the snapshots in a hierarchical format, and may even view snapshot data in association with the corresponding application. The resultant recovery volume may be used to replace a primary volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2013Publication date: September 12, 2013Applicant: COMMVAULT SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Anand Prahlad, Andreas May, Norman R. Lunde, Lixin Zhou, Avinash Kumar, David Ngo
