Abstract
Approaches to expose a remotely located file on top of a virtual volume, at the volume level. The need to backup individual files as opposed to backing up the entire container volume in sparse mode had become apparent. Creating a novel method of exposing individual backed up files at the volume level avoids the associated reboot issues, performance issues and the need to operate at the file system level. The backup storage device can be any arbitrary device, such as a dedupe storage, NAS device, CIFS share, FTP server, or any other type of storage device.
