Abstract
In one example, a method includes performing various operations at a backup server. These operations may include receiving, from a node, a request for restoration of a cumulative backup that includes a plurality of partial backups that have been merged together, where the plurality of partial backups includes data from a group of one or more nodes, and the group includes the node. The method further includes checking the cumulative backup to determine whether or not the cumulative backup has been finalized, accessing the cumulative backup when it has been determined that the cumulative backup has been finalized, and restoring the cumulative backup to a target node.
