Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for restoring data from opaque data backup streams may include (1) initiating a virtual restore of an opaque data backup stream that is designed to be parsed exclusively by a data backup application that created the stream, (2) determining, for each block of data, an original header and tail of the block based on a restored version of the block on the client, (3) sending the original header and tail of the block to a server, (4) creating, at the server, a mapping between a location of the block of data in the stream on the server and the original header and tail of the block, and (5) restoring, without using the data backup application, data in the stream by using the mapping to restore the original headers and tails of the blocks. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
