System and method are disclosed for enabling data synchronization with different cloud service providers. Semantics of provide data from the cloud service providers may be determined and captured in a data object&#x2014;i.e. a provider data object. The provider data object may then be instantiated for individual cloud service providers for synchronizing data with a given cloud service provider. Provider data can be received from the given cloud service provider can be processed using the instance of the provider data object. Specific provider information can then be extracted from the received provider data according the semantics defined in the instance of the provider data object. The extracted provider information can then compared with provider information already stored in a database. When one or more differences are detected between the two, the received provider information can be saved to the database.

Synchronizing data between cloud manager and providers

A backup, search, and restore service is provided. The service can be achieved through a backup system, and a search and restore server. A user can be enabled to initiate a search request for one or more data items. A search can be performed by the search and restore server using metadata for the data items backed up by the backup system to return the one or more data items. The metadata for the data items can be generated by the backup system when data items are backed up by the backup system. The backup system may back up the data items on an incremental basis. The user can be enabled to select a data item in the one or more data items for restoration on the data system. Header information of the selected data item can be obtained from the data system to determine whether the restoration is necessary.
