Abstract
Embodiments are directed to presenting virtual machine backup files for instant restore by creating a virtual volume on a local machine with files that emulate remote VM files, and setting up kernel mode interceptor hook system object and the user mode process for I/O redirection. The virtual volume created and the file extents table is passed as an input to the user mode process. The user mode process waits for events triggered by the kernel mode driver object. If the I/O is within defined file boundaries, the file is converted to relative extents and read from the remote storage node. Write requests are automatically accomplished by attaching a differencing disk created on the local machine to the last known incremental file and performing a native OS mount of that file.
