Abstract: A data management system includes: a transceiver; a memory; and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory and configured to: receive, via the transceiver, a copy data request for unstructured data; access, via the transceiver in response to the copy data request, a plurality of backed-up files of unstructured data stored in a first data storage device; send, in response to the copy data request, a plurality of Virtual Data Files (VDFs) to a second data storage device, the processor being configured to respond to receipt of information from each of the plurality of VDFs to retrieve a respective backed-up file of unstructured data of the plurality of backed-up files of unstructured data stored in the first data storage device.

Abstract: A data access recovery apparatus includes: a transceiver; a memory; and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory and configured to: receive a request to restore backed-up unstructured data files associated with the request; send active data files, of the backed-up unstructured data files, to a data-access server in response to receiving the request; receive an indication of a particular data file of the backed-up unstructured data files; and send, in response to receiving the indication, the particular data file to the data-access server before the particular data file would be sent, if at all, absent receiving the indication.
