Abstract

Cross backup application diskless data migration is provided. Legacy data backups eligible for migration are identified in a legacy backup environment. Application specific information regarding the legacy data backups eligible for migration is received. The application specific information is filtered to indicate only legacy backup data that must be migrated representing a type of migration desired. The application specific information corresponding to the legacy backup data that must be migrated is presented as a virtual filesystem mounted within an operating system such that the application specific information is seen as live local data. A backup of the virtual filesystem mounted within the operating system is performed.
