Abstract
Consolidating data across several backups to a single virtual machine (VM) at a single instance. A process stores a VM to be backed up such that each backup comprises a single VM disk (VMDK). Upon request from the backup server, the deduplication system returns the location of the VMDKs as a network file system (NFS) path for each VMDK. This path entry is exported to the hypervisor hosting a proxy VM. The entry is mounted as a data store to the hypervisor. The proxy VM uses the VMDK which is in the data store and mounts the disk. This is performed for each VMDK so that the proxy VM mounts the NFS paths that is exported from the deduplication system onto a local file system of the base VM. From the local file system, it creates the mount points to become a user-searchable drive.
