A method, computer readable medium, and apparatus for creating and using backups which allow restoration of applications and/or specific content using volume image backup files. A directory of applications and application specific content is created which, along with metadata associated therewith, allows selection and restoration of such content using data stored in a volume image backup file, thereby reducing the time needed to create backups which are restorable at the application level.
