Properties of one or more databases of nodes of a database system are automatically discovered. The automatically discovered properties for at least one of the databases include a database architecture and a corresponding failover role for each of at least some of the nodes. Based at least in part on the discovered properties, a corresponding one of the nodes as a corresponding backup source node is selected for each of the one or more databases. One or more database backups are allowed to be performed via the one or more selected backup source nodes.

A request to migrate from a secondary storage system to a server a requested version of database content of a database backed up at the secondary storage system is received. A new version of the database content at the secondary storage system is instantiated. Functionality of the database is maintained including by allowing a database application hosted on the server to access the database content from the secondary storage system using the instantiated new version of the database content while migrating the requested version of database content from the secondary storage system to the server.

A method and system for restoring a database are described. An identification of a restoration point of the database is received. Using a processor, metadata of a plurality of backups are analyzed to identify from the plurality of backups a reduced dataset required to restore the database to the restoration point. The reduced dataset is provided for use in restoring the database to the restoration point.
