Abstract
Actual files, which may comprise objects, are stored from a high-performance cluster storage of a first system to a lower performance storage of a remote second computing system as a backup. A set of proxy files, which point to locations of the actual files within the backup, is created that may be stored to a cluster storage system, or to the lower performance storage, at the remote second computing system. A user, or application, of the first system may access an actual file from the backup that is pointed to in a corresponding proxy file. The actual file accessed from the backup may be stored to a new location at a cluster storage to facilitate future access requests made before the actual file is restored from the backup to the first system. The proxy file corresponding to the accessed file may point to the new location of the retrieved file.
