Abstract
A method for managing a block-based backup (BBB) includes: sending a file system parsing request to a file system, in which the file system is backed up in a backup storage as the BBB; obtaining file system metadata, in which the file system metadata is generated and stored in the backup storage in response to the file system parsing request; analyzing the file system metadata to generate an index for each asset of the file system; reordering the index of each asset to generate a reordered index; determining a user access level of a user; identifying assets in the reordered index to obtain a set of permitted assets for the user; providing a graphical user interface (GUI) specifying the set of permitted assets; receiving selected assets among the set of permitted assets via the GUI; and restoring the selected assets from the BBB.
