Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to a method for performing generating backups of host data. The method may include obtaining, by a data protection agent of a host, a backup request associated with an asset of the host; generating a backup image of the asset; obtaining file system metadata associated with the asset from a file system metadata repository on a storage of the host; identifying snapshot metadata included in the file system metadata; identifying snapshots included in the backup image using the snapshot metadata; for each snapshot of the snapshots: identifying backup image sub-assets associated with the snapshot using the snapshot metadata; generating a snapshot backup by storing the backup image sub-assets in a snapshot backup container on a backup storage; and generating snapshot backup metadata associated with each snapshot backup; and performing snapshot level restoration operations using at least the snapshot backup and the snapshot backup metadata.
