Abstract:

A method and system for restoring data on a production server by recovering individual data objects from a recovery storage group to a database residing on the production server. In one example method, a recovery interface accesses a recovery storage group containing a recovered database. The recovered database has been recovered from a backup storage location and contains a copy of a database residing on the production server. The method then identifies each data object residing in the recovery storage group and displays each of the data objects on a graphical user interface configured to allow a user to select and individual data objects for recovery from the recovered database. The selected data objects are restored to the appropriate location on the production server.
