Abstract

Embodiments are described for presenting a backed up data object to a client, in a native file format, in response to a request from the client to retrieve the requested data object. The request includes security attributes of the requested data object. If the security attributes in the request match the security attributes stored with the backed up data object, then the requested data objet is returned to the requesting client. When a backup is performed, metadata associated with each backed up data object is stored in the backup data set. When a request is received to restore a backed up data object, a metadata tree is constructed that represents the directory structure of the backed up data objects, and further includes security attributes for each data object and an offset into the backup data set where the requested data object can be found.
