Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for using a metadata agent to collect metadata from a client computer system and including receiving the metadata associated with files used by applications executing in the client computer system. The metadata belong to objects stored in a volume associated with the client computer system. The metadata is collected in real time by the metadata agent executing in the client computer system as a background task. The metadata is stored in a metadata base associated with a metadata server. A request to search the metadata is received from a backup server associated with the metadata server. The search request includes search criteria. A search engine associated with the metadata server searches the metadata in the metadata database to find a match based on the search criteria. A search result is transmitted from the metadata server to the backup server which uses the search result to search for objects in the backup data.
