Abstract
A computer system and methods. The computer system includes a host that hosts applications and includes storage volumes. The host identifies an application and associated first files to be protected. The first files are stored on a first volume. The host performs a file-by-file backup of the first files to a first backup medium. The host identifies a second volume to be protected and performs a volume image backup of the second volume to a second backup medium. The host identifies second files that are associated with the identified application and stored on the second volume and stores metadata in a third backup medium including application-specific references to data objects that correspond to the second files. Third files not associated with the identified application are stored on the first volume and not included in the file-by-file backup. The second files are not included in the file-by-file backup.
