  • De-duplicated file share mounting for granular level data recoveries
    Patent number: 10719486
    Abstract: Systems and methods for granularly recovering a backup are provided. An image of a backup is mounted as a file system such that the files can be granularly restored. Image-level recovery and file-level recovery can be achieved from the same backup. The backup may also be de-duplicated.
