Abstract
A system includes a data management server and a data store. The data store uses an external file system to store the data of a client virtual machine (VM) which uses an internal file system. The server comprises an agent VM. Responsive to receiving a request to retrieve a file from a filesystem snapshot, the agent VM determines a path of the internal files system of the client VM and mounts a virtual file system at the agent VM based on the determined path. The virtual file system represents the internal file system of the client virtual machine. The agent VM uses a block device protocol to translate the internal file address to an external file address of the external file system. The agent VM retrieves the file stored in the data store based on the external file address and provides the retrieved file to the target device.
