Abstract: An improved information management system is described herein that provides on-demand or live mount access to virtual machine data in a secondary copy format. For example, instead of restoring all of the virtual machine data in the secondary copy format to a virtual disk that is then mounted to a virtual machine, the improved information management system can, in response to request to access virtual machine data in a secondary copy format, create a virtual disk having a universal network component (UNC) path and create a virtual machine configured to access data via the UNC path. Once created and booted, the administrator or user can attempt to access the desired virtual machine data via the virtual machine.

Abstract: The disclosed “Live Mount In Cloud” solution enables, within a cloud computing environment that houses a desired backup copy made from a source virtual machine, immediate access to backed up data on demand without restoring the backup copy in its entirety. Live Mount In Cloud also enables the live-mounted VM to write new data, not just to read from the backup copy. Live Mount In Cloud creates multiply nested VMs within the cloud computing environment. Accordingly, the live-mounted VM runs in (is hosted by) a hypervisor nested within a cloud-native VM. Live Mount In Cloud handles any differences between formatting and configuration settings of the hypervisor hosting the live-mounted VM and the way in which the backup copy is formatted. A backup proxy VM intercepts reads and writes issued by the live-mounted VM and facilitates access to the backup copy.
