Abstract: An example method of restoring a database includes obtaining information about backup data of a database from a source storage separate from a compute infrastructure. The information includes a list of data blocks of a file, transferring the data blocks on the list from the source storage to a local storage on the compute infrastructure, and tracking which data blocks of the file have been transferred from the source storage to the local storage concurrently when transferring the data blocks.

Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing the amount of time to restore a database or other application by dynamically generating and storing synthetic snapshots are described. When backing up a database, an integrated data management and storage system may acquire snapshots of the database at a snapshot frequency and acquire database transaction logs at a frequency that is greater than the snapshot frequency. In response to detecting that the database is unable to provide a database snapshot, the integrated data management and storage system may generate a synthetic snapshot of the database by instantiating a compatible version of the database locally, acquiring a previously stored snapshot of the database, applying data changes from one or more database transaction logs to the previously stored snapshot to generate the synthetic snapshot, and storing the synthetic snapshot of the database within the integrated data management and storage system.
