Abstract
A computer-implemented method for restoring images may include (1) identifying an image to restore to a volume, (2) creating a synchronization map that reflects differences between the image and the volume, (3) intercepting at least one attempt to read from a region of the volume, (4) determining, based on the synchronization map, that the region has not yet been restored from the image, (5) copying the region from the image to the volume, (6) updating the synchronization map to reflect that the region has been restored, and (7) allowing the attempt to read from the region to proceed. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
