Method for restoring data from a monolithic backup
First Claim
1. A method for restoring data from an archived copy of a database file, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to restore an item from the archived copy of the database file, the database file being a single monolithic database file, wherein the item comprises a file and associated context information describing the file in a first intranet portal application environment;
retrieving a schema from the archived copy of the database file, wherein the schema represents a data structure of the database file that includes the item and allows access or restoration of selected items of the archived copy of the database file without use of a database;
generating an item file and associated metadata file from the retrieved schema, wherein the item file comprises a copy of the file and is independent of the context information, and wherein the metadata file is based on the context information;
storing the item file and the associated metadata file in a file system; and
restoring the item to a second intranet portal application via the file system.
