Abstract
A method and system for backing up and restoring data of production servers. A mapping that maps volumes of production servers to volumes of a data protection server is maintained on the data protection server. When volumes of the data protection server are backed up, the mapping may be stored on the archive media together with the data of the volumes. Later, during a restore, the mapping is read from the archive media. The mapping allows the data to be restored to the data protection server or directly to the production servers.
